Well, you didn't replace a couple of the main items that the ECU uses to calculate AFR... MAF and primary oxygen sensors. Looks like you have a K&N filter, if it was over-oiled it could have fouled the MAF sensor. And oxygen sensors deteriorate over time, if they've never been replaced then it may be a good idea to take care of them.
My awd 12v gets about 22mpg, so you have a huge problem. If you aren't showing any codes, I'd look for a possible fuel leak. Look by the injectors for a leak, a bad oring on the injector could be possible on a 15 year old car. If nothing, follow the fuel lines and look for anything wet or covered in grim.

Does your Oil smell like fuel? I wonder if your piston rings might be worn down, which might let fuel pass by in the combustion chamber. (I'm just spitballing here, any of you gurus able to confirm or deny?)
