Default bad gas milage but o2 sensor is fine..

ok guys.. ive been searching all day but couldnt find what i was looking for.. my problem is that ive been getting bad gas milage.. maybe 150 miles a tank.. now my question is that..
1. if my o2 sensor is bad. wouldnt i get a code on my ecu regarding my o2 sensor?

2. if i was to replace it. should i get 2 o2 sensor. or just 1?

3. from what car i should get those from?

4. should i go to my local autozone, pepboys, and kragen, or go to the dealer?

thanks for your time guys.

Not always. O2 sensors slowly wear down and you'll only get a code when it is no longer functional

2. if i was to replace it. should i get 2 o2 sensor. or just 1?
If you're OBDI then just 1, OBDII then 2

3. from what car i should get those from?
Get the right sensor for your car

4. should i go to my local autozone, pepboys, and kragen, or go to the dealer?

[B]You can get an 4 wire Universal from any store. If you go to the dealer they are going to want a lot of money. If you want OEM quality get a Denso sensor from http://www.oxygensensors.com[/B]

unscrew rewire screw back in, however you may need to get the tool to remove it if you cant get it off.
