the NGK ones are decent and cost a couple of bucks. You can get them at the local autozone. I believe there were talks of problems with the platinum ones....

get some NGK BKR5E-11, they should already come pre-gapped, but it's always a good idea to double check them...
in the back of your Mitsu Owner's Guide shows the spark plug brands/#'s and the correct gap size

it looks like your gap is way to big go to your local parts store and get a feeler gauge and if they are not .030. Bend them until the gap is 30 thousandths with to large of a gap you may be misfireing or not getting the full spark. This would cause your bad gas mileage.

So your saying the stock ones were in correct. Well I guess if I already have them out would be a good time to go ahead and change them out.

Well I have the 2.0 liter and the gap is suppose to be .039-.043 and the 2.4 is .029-.031 so that may be why my gap is so large
