Default Spark plug gap

Im pretty sure not many people have swapped their old plugs out yet, but I just got some and gapped mine to .029 since the owners manual says .028-.031. I figure the gap is going to get bigger when the electrode wears down so I went towards the smaller side.

IIRC laloosh or driver replaced theirs too, though. Where did you gap yours?
