fwiw..I would check into carbon buildup in the cylinders ...
I had a similiar situation and could have sworn it was bad o2 sensors..
Tech did a top engine cleaner on it and it worked like a charm..
I hear a lot of guys buy something called seafoam but never did it myself.
Increased carbon buildup inside the motor will set knock sensors off at mid rpm ranges due to detonation...and power will take a dump.
I'd at least look into having someone whose done this before help you out and seafoam the engine...or GM top engine cleaner product..
Inexpensive and seems to be caused by the crappy gas we have..
(about 45 k miles on my car too)

Reading a code does not tell you a sensor is bad. The reason they are telling you its the o2's is because its saying your car is too rich or too lean. If your mileage is way down and you have quite a few miles on your car do a tune up and grab some seafoam. 02's aint cheap. Clean your MAF if its not reading the right amount of air it will run rich or lean (more likely).
