If you clean it, should you expect to see anything on the Q-tip? I didn't so I dunno... I'm trying anything and everything to improve my mileage even after the M calibration which is still around 14 mpg...

I know what the problem is. I think that there is some guy at the factory that got a crap raise and is taking it out on Mazda by spraying some kind of oil on our MAS.
He does it randomly so not to draw attention.

The Mass Air Flow sensor is in the same housing. It is the two resistors you see when you look inside the plastic housing.

You're thanking ME?
You did all the work here. I don't doubt the MAF can have a huge difference in MPG. It is a direct feed to the PCM and is one of the first signals used to control IPW.
