Are there any modifications to the car? What kind of driving are you doing? Is it MT, or AT?

O2 sensor may be bad.

Throwing money at parts isn't the best approach. All of those parts minus the fuel filter could've been inspected first to determine their condition.

A failing 02 sensor will definitely cause bad fuel economy but I'd expect you'd see a CEL first; but that's not always the case. When was the last time the thermostat was changed?

Thermostat has nothing to do with fuel economy
