spark plugs

Hey guys, ive had my b2500 for a coupleof months now, and i replaced the plugs qnd i put in autolite copper plugs. Ive had bad gas milage but i have nothing to compare it to. Ive heard that the 2.5 needs double platinum plugs and at 4.95$ a piece i was wondering if i could just replace the plugs on the drivers side. And do you guys think this will help my milage?

If you have a WaL-Mart near you(??), you can buy a pair(2) for that much-and if your mileage is that BAD, I would quit buying gas where you currently do....just saying!!
