There are a lot of things that can negatively affect mileage besides the O2's.
Driving habits are the biggest. If you romp on it a bit, or even accelerate fast and do in town driving, I would say your mileage may not be that far off from where it should be with your setup.
Here are a few other things to check that will make a difference on mlieage;
Oil change
Tire pressure
Fuel filter change (this one is often overlooked and can be big if not done regularly)
Air filter
Spark plugs

A big issue that a lot of stalled cars over look as well is converter lock up timing. I had my 4,000 stall set to lock up at 35mph. That made a big difference. The only downside that I had for it locking up so early was the converter would unlock at around 50 mph & would lock back up around 52 or 53 if I was driving normally. A small price to pay for big gains in city driving. Plus after a little bit you don't even notice it anymore.

Yeah did all that already. I will clean the Maf and also change out the O2 sensor tomorrow. The O2's have never been changed. I bought the Denso O2 sensors today so I'm hoping that helps out a little bit. LOL
