IP: Logged

Message:
I have a 97 4x4 5.2L sport and I had the plenum gasket done about 2 weeks ago and I put new autolite spark plugs and semi synthetic oil in it. Ever since then my mileage has droped from about 16/17 mpg on the highway to about 13/14 mpg.
would any of these things have an effect on my mileage???? Any input would be great

Thanks
