Default Driving without o2sensor

I was thinking of trying to drive without o2sensor,because i only gets 20 mpg and see if there is any difference in gas mileage. i don't want to buy a new o2sensor and still get 20mpg.would it be bad for the car

I think it may cause it to run rich. I ran without one and my air fuel guage never went below rich. So that may hurt your milage. Go on ebay and see if you can find a used one in good condition.

What year is your car? If it is obd-1 then the cx is a one wire o2 and will not work. You'll need a 4 wire.
