A quick and inexpensive check would be the large intake hose between the airmass meter and the throttle body. These can rub and wear a hole allowing unmetered air into the system. I would take it off of the car to check it carefully. Replace if defective. As suggested look carefully for vacuum leaks. Many times the hose leading off of the intake through the firewall (climate control) will split at the end and allow leaks. I too would suggest that the O2 sensor be checked for proper function. If the car has been sitting for a while I would make sure that the fuel I was burning during the test was not what had been in the car.
