Any engine lights appearing or rough idle? Fuel tank leak?

You've had it scanned and its only the oil pressure causing the fault code?
Has it always chewed through the fuel or only when you replaced the oxygen sensors, fuel pump etc.

When you get low on fuel, is it the warning light going on? The other thing that might cause it is if your fuel sender is reading the tank wrong?
How many litres can you put in when its empty?

If your cat's blocked it's because the honeycomb holding the catalyst has collapsed. Only option is to replace.

Reset the ECU is a first step. Necessary because it uses recent historical records to weight it's current tuning. Remove the records and it will default to factory tune.

Id say its slightly wrong and the fuel level in the tank is reading slightly wrong. Check what amount the sender is reading in the fuel tank by accessing the service menu through the trip computer (hold set and mode i think) before turning to on position and then let go.

Then fill and see how much it reads. When its half way see again how much.
