Default Slight bucking/missing during cruising

Occasionally while just driving the car will buck a little bit. It feels like its missing but I could be wrong. Under acceleration and deceleration it doesn't do it.

Car had Denso Iridium plugs put in a few thousand miles ago, thats all I know since I just bought it.

any ideas/suggestions?

Thanks

What gear? High compression + short gearing means that the car will buck while cruising in first and second.

I know, it is just much more pronounced in 1st and 2nd. For an example, turn on cruise control at 30mph in 1st

For starters, missing occurs under acceleration too, so it's not that. What Gear/Speed/RPM? If you want better guesses, supply more information.

Also are you getting a CEL? True missing could through a code. Though this could be anything from lugging to bad gas.

That's not enough info... What speed/RPM/Gear??? Does it get better or worse with higher speed? What's the milage? Have you every had the fuel filter changed? Do you feel the symptom in the seat or the steering wheel?
