I second Icemark.... I change my plugs every 2500 Miles and by that time, when the new ones go in, you can actually feel the difference...... My gas mileage sucks cause of all the performance mods and my heavy foot, but on the old N/A GTU, after i changed the plugs that were in there since god knows when, i got about 6 mpg back!!

If your plugs were bad enought to be causing the poor mileage, replacing the plugs and wires would give a NOTICEABLE improvement in snappyness to the motor
Start looking into clogged filters, low tire pressures, a dead body dragging on the rear subframe, etc.
