Bad gas mileage

I'm gettin like 20mpg combined highway and city. I was thinkin maybe a bad o2 sensor, but what is the easiest way to find out? I know that they're only $20 for my engine so hopefully thats what it is.

RE: Bad gas mileage

easiest way is to replace them! They don't cost that much anyway. Could also try running a fuel injection cleaner.

RE: Bad gas mileage

So you think I should just replace both of em before finding out if they are bad? Is there no way to figure out if they're bad?
