Horrible fuel mileage since changing spark plugs

What he is saying is that your computer is operating as if you had the old plugs in there.
Now that you've changed the plugs, that variable has been changed, so your PCM needs to relearn driving conditions/trims based on this changed variable.
Edit: You mention that this tank is getting better. It'd make sense given what's being suggested. The PCM is always measuring and looking to adjust trims based on driving conditions. More than likely, with enough time, the issue would just go away on it's own, but it's better to facilitate the process by forcing a relearn shown here.

Just a heads up, your Throttle Body will relearn its parameters too, so don't be surprised if it dies once or twice or feels like it's going to in the next few days.
