Default bad gas mileage

my 94 accord lx isn't getting the gas mileage i expect it to... I was up to 24 mpg at one point then last tank i only got 18.. I expect that the reason being would be that i seafoamed the car between fillups and my plugs got dirty... So i took the plugs out and cleaned them sure enough they were filled with carbon remains... After all of that my question is that do u think that the only reason my mileage droped was the plugs and what else can i do to increase gas mileage...

SeaFoam made your plugs dirty?

well yeah, you're basically combusting all the carbon build up that seafoam cleans out in the cylinders. you're supposed to change them every time you use seafoam.

do a search, we cover mpg questions frequently.
