How about your thermostat? The temperature at which your car is running ( like too cold) will DECREASE your mileage.
BTW if there are no CELS then usually the o2 is good.

A lazy O2 won't throw a code. It's only when they get really bad that they will throw one. I say find one, switch it out and either it will work or you got one for when you do need it.

Don't buy a cheap one, it's best to go OEM. I bought a Bosch O2 sensor and half a year later it's failing on me.

Check your tires, brakes for dragging, tune-up stuff?
