$400?  OUCH..
Probably the same for my wife's Prius hybrid.  Don't know because it 
ONLY has
130K miles and is still running the original plugs  ;-)  Original 
everything except tires.

My old 2000 Honda Insight hybrid used indexed plugs, they cost $$$ and 
you had
to order the correct index...  sold it with just over 100k so I never 
changed them either.

At 100K, I changed my C5 Vette plugs.. old ones looked worn but new ones ran
identically!
