Lousy mpg '94 E420 - Causes?

I've been getting lousy mileage on my E420 lately. Well, at least since I've replace the ETA (wires toast) and a few weeks later the MAF (voltage code).
I'm guesstimating 15mpg, if I'm lucky. No codes, except for an upshift delay code a few weeks ago - hasn't returned since clearing it.
Until the wiring shorted out in the old ETA, I could get 23-24mpg.
Did I get a bum rebuilt unit? (4mercedes) or is this just a coincidence, and I need to look elsewhere?

Thanks!
