When you replaced the plugs, did you use the recommended NGK replacement plugs, or another brand? Also, what did you gap the replacement plugs at (1mm is the recommended gap)? Finally, what is the pressure level in your tires? If it is below 30 psi, that could be part of your mpg problem. I recently got 27 mpg on a trip, cruising at 75 mph, with a rooftop ski box on my car (1997 9000 CSE), so your mileage should be way better than what you have been experiencing.
