Default Gas Mileage Really Bad

Well, I have been getting really, really bad gas mileage lately (19 or less in the city, and 24 or less on the highway). My check enginge light had been on for about 3 or 4 weeks. I finally got the time to take it in and supposedly after I got all this work done my gas mileage was going to get better. So here is what I had done:

- New Spark Plugs
- New Air Filter
- New Mass Air Sensor(this is why my CEL was on, also supposed to be the main thing to fix the mileage)
- New Battery
- New Fuel Filter
- New Belts

I think that is about it. Well after all that, my gas mileage still hasn't seemed to improve. I haven't had the chance to take it out on the freeway and give it a good hour or two, but I shouldn't have to to see the improvements. What do you guys think it could be?

I don't have any mods on the car so I know it is not that. And since it was low on gas when it left the mechanics I even put Sunoco 94 octane in it. I normally run 93 octane. So, what the hell is up?

Thanx for any help!
