My Chevrolet S10 is burning more fuel now. My OBDII scanner gives the following readings for the oxygen sensors:

O2 B1 S1 shows fluctuations from.1 to.7mv

O2 B1 S2 shows a constant.7mv

This is in Closed Loop after warm up.

The O2 and CAT monitors show that they have not completed their monitoring.

I appreciate your help.

Your 02 readings look OK, check/clean the MAF, it controls injector pulse width.

No MAF on this vehicle. Checked the MAP sensor and it seems to react slowly. Thinking it might be contaminated. Can it be cleaned?

Ok here's the sensor range charts, you need to check them starting with the 02.
