from the logs after you changed the o2 sensor your fueling was fine, so your pressure reg is working.

If you can get hold of a fuel pressure gague you could test it, or get your local mechanic to do it.

Have you checked to see if the vacuum line to the reg has fuel in it?
If the regs diaphram has spilt it will be sucking fuel straight into the intake manifold.

Are the spark plugs black (rich)?

I know the logs looked good but it couldn't hurt to check.

I got around 400k (Still has some in the tank) from a full tank after changing both oxygen sensors, yours should also have two sensors.
Mine has the 4 wire sensors and they have not been cut.
Is there a chance you have a fuel leak somewhere?

Don't let the revs go over 2500 rpm for a WHOLE tank. And see what you get.

sounds like youve covered pretty much everything, from the last logs you sent me your LTFT was spot on so the engine isn't using more fuel, so either it's leaking somewhere or exhaust is blocked causing you to use more throttle.
