Default Low Voltage Code Challenge

My SES light popped on and I pulled codes from my 2000 T/A (~71k miles).
Codes indicated low voltage on both sensors. In parallel, MPG in the city had dropped from an average of 15+ a few years ago to 12-13. This was a gradual drop that accelerated from 13 to 12 in the two weeks before the car threw the codes.

So I replaced them with new Bosch units 10 days ago and gas mileage picked up to ~14.5 MPG, but today the car threw out the same codes again. This appears to happen every time I accelerate on to the freeway.

The full data I am pulling from the freeze frame shows:
P0137
Fuel system 1
Open loop - drive
Fuel system 2
Open loop - drive
Calculated load 56.8%
Engine coolant temp 93C
STFT Bank 1
-0.7%
LTFT Bank 1
8.5%
STFT Bank 2
-0.7%
LTFT Bank 1
7.8%
Intake manifold pressure 95kPaA
Engine RPM 4635
Vehicle speed 54 KmPH
MAF Sensor 160.25 gm/s
Throttle position 78.4%
Looking for suggestions on the thing to check or replace next.
Ideas anyone?
