O2 sensor is bad? could be cause mine the last 3 fillups: 26.5, 29.7, 28.4. I noticed carbon starting to build up on my back bumper but thought nothing of it. then my CEL went on and its the 02 sensor. i read up that it will cause poor gas mileage

How are you driving it? If you're beating on it then thats to be expected.
