I recenty cleaned the MAS and my K&N air filter. After cleaning the MAS, I reset the computer. After all of this, it seems that the fuel mileage is getting worse, not better. What other things should I look at or consider doing to help my fuel mileage?

You can do a Free TPS Mod (do a search) which might help a little.
 






i think since you cleaned out everything you got the case of a lead foot resulting in poor MPG's :)
 






With a KN and cleaned MAS you're letting in more air and fuel. While this may improve mileage as it improves power in the city; on the highway at constant RPMs it will lower mileage compared to before, and of course lead-foot-tis.
