trans is an A500,

02 sensor will hurt your mileage like that.have it checked or replace
temp sensor giving the pcm a cold reading,runs rich
map sensor not working properly,have checked
do a tuneup plugs,wires,cap and rotor
set the timing to 12degrees instead of 10degrees

try a couple bottles of fuel injector cleaner

for every min your truck idles you loss about a mile a tank,idles 15min loss 15miles per tank of gas

one or all will hurt mileage and power
