Default problem with gas

when i got my car a year ago i was getting around 27-28 mpg with my 94 accord lx. i then put an aem intake on which changed nothing. after that i put an aem fuel rail on and my mileage dropped dramatically down to 18-20. i put a fpr on and a fuel gauge to see if changing the fuel pressure would do anything but it didn't. so i put the stock fuel rail back on and i still only get 18-20 mpg if i drive freeway and don't rev any higher than about 3500. i got a tuneup after i put the stock fuel rail back on and that didn't help anything. any suggestions or tips on what the problem could be? going from filling up every 350-400 down to about 190-220 is a big difference, expecially with the gas prices the way they are. anything would help right now. thanks in advance for anything.

reset the ECU

Try replacing your O2 sensor

maybe your fuel injectors or fuel filter are clogged up.
