I think you're on the right track with your list.
O2 sensor, I would imagine, is probably fine if you're not getting CELs.
I like to blame spark plugs for all manner of maladies, because they are often the culprits; similarly if your DI cassette is getting elderly it could be contributing to lowered efficiency.
But beyond those things, you might have a partially clogged exhaust, be it the cat or one of the two mufflers, or it could just be wear and tear. To me, the difference in mileage in this comparison probably doesn't warrant a lot of cost, which will offset fuel costs anyway. Your list of simple stuff may well improve mileage anyway.
Let us know how it turns out after you do those things!
