Believe the OEM platinum plugs go 100K. I replaced mine at 60K with iridiums however. Change your air filter, clean MAF sensor, check tire pressure. These are the first things to check when getting poor mpg.

Replaced mine at 68k and they were pretty bad. It's also a good time to check for leaky valve covers while you're at it.

get iridiums and basically just do a tune up. If that doesn't help you probably have a more serious issue.
