Default Installed spark plugs, and TERRIBLE gas milage

I just installed my spark plugs today (Bosch Platinum F6DP), set the gap to .031. I drove from a full tank to half tank at only 90 miles, and I was driving like usual. Most times I get around 120 miles for a half tank. I torqued the plugs to 13 lbs each. Please help me figure this out. Thanks

are the plugs 2 steps colder? i wouldnt recommend usin those. stick to NGKs. you can get a set for less than $20 at motorsport techniques, which is at hayward.

ok, the only reason i used bosh was because it was also recommended on this board and pepboys didnt have the ngk's. Is this the problem? Is the gap ok?
