my car is sucking right now...

my car has been sucking the last week or two. my gas mileage is crap and i'm not getting the power i'm used to. i'm not sure what it is but i think it is either my battery (stock battery looks like it is dying according to the little clear indicator on the top) or my spark plugs. the car feels really boggy, and my exhaust doesn't sound as smooth as normal. i think i'm running rich because my spark plugs are crapped out. 2004 lancer with 40k on the clock. what do you guys think?

My car has sucked since day one. Its one of the 4 key elements to an Internal combustion engine.

Suck, Squeeze, Bang, Blow
