A VX failing emissions? Weird.
You can tell if a cat is burnt out by if the catalyst is gone. The front burns out first.
It could be why it's getting bad mileage. I'd replace the O2 sensor since it's a wide band and most people would probably not want to since it's expensive (like $50).

amazon.
the secondary cat is relatively pointless.
the first one is the important one that checks the engine and make sure everythings working.
