Dirty MAF, clogged fuel injectors, dying O2 sensor. All could hurt MPG.
You should also check your plugs, air filter, and fuel filter.

With that many miles, I'd replace them. If you don't have the cash, find a shop that can clean them. This involves removing the injectors, hooking them up in a jig, and running pressurized cleaner through them. The pour-in-the-gas-tank cleaners are only really good for minor buildup and must be done on a regular basis to work.
When your injectors get gummed up, the fuel doesn't come out in a fine spray anymore. Instead, it comes out in drops. Not good.
Contact Bill J. for a price on new ones. He should be able to get you a great deal.
Also, clean your MAF. It can be done in about 15 minutes.
