Default Running Rich? Loosing Mileage? Help?

so i just realized this for the first time since i bought my car, that i think im running wayy too rich, a full tank of gas will only last me about a week, and i drive normal most of the time, maybe i floor it like once a day but thats about it, and i dont drive far to school or work. im thinking i have a bad 02 sensor but i cant really tell, my car is throwing a CEL, its just a constant light, no blinks etc etc. and its been there since i bought the car a month ago, but i figured it was just because i had over 100k miles so i never bothered to get the code read, so what do you guys think? ill be going to get the code checked tomorow after school. just wanted some opinions.

oh and i have a 96' EX Coupe D16Y8 5-Spd & the only thing done to the engine is an AEM v2 CAI

thanks

Read the damn code. Chances are it's an O2 sensor.

yeah im thinking its an 02 sensor too, how much do they usually cost to replace? and i was also thinking it could be my fuel lines or fuel system somehow.
