Toyota Engine Life!!!

Dear Members,
I want to know about the engine life of New Toyota Corollas which are manufactured in current Model means 2002~2008 ones as I am doubtful about mine. I have a SE Saloon Automatic Model 2002 (the same new shape without Z gen engine) as my car was from the only first batch produced by the Toyota People when it was launched. Its Odo metre is showing 67,300 Km now which I have driven it purely on Petrol and is never converted to CNG. Its giving me about 8.5Km /Liter on long Route as I have Daily Drive of 50 Km to my Office and Nowadays NO AC as with AC it gives me 7 Km/Litre. I am doubtful about its performance as its Pick have Fallen Dramatically although there isnt any modification done Except Platinium Spark Plugs and Nothing. My Car is Maintaned at its best means all maintanace done on time with best replacement Like ZIC A+ oil which I change after every 3000 Km Drive and Tuning every month. I also tried TROTTLE service which improved little but not much. My car goes 0~100 Km/hr in 14 Sec!!!.
Do u think its OK!!! with full press as its Automatic.
Please Suggest if I should do some thing to improve its Performance EXCEPT FILLING HI OCTANE as I use it partially with every fill.
Thanks

Zic synthetic should not be changed before 5k kms. Pick up is less and fuel consumption is horrible. You need to get things checked. Its not about engine life but tune up and adjustments. Platinum plugs can be a culprit as well.
