DIY o2 sensor Cleaning
Your mpg sucks, you think your o2's might be bad... before spending $70+ bux on new o2's, try cleaning them 1st. it's cheep and worth a shot.
get a can of CRC electronic components cleaner
Remove o2 sensor(s) from the vehicle
spray the sensor with the cleaner into the exhaust stream openings and spray it liberally
reinstall o2 senosr(s).
this has worked for me many times and will extend the life of an o2 sensor. O2's become slow to respond or "lazy", plugged up (might be toolate at that point) and cleaning them every 20~30k miles will help them last alot longer and perform better over the course of their life.
