Ummm how many mpg? Saying your getting horrible mpg doesn't explain much ;)

check your oil level. if you have bad oil consumption like i do it can be a cause. but go through the basics first. tire psi oil level spark plugs etc.

it's probably the winter gas. i know my car gets worse mileage in the winter due to this

Sounds like time for a tune-up. Which O2 sensor needs changed? Primary or Secondary? Secondary shouldn't affect fuel mileage. Primary definitely will.

I usually go 350-400 kms from full to when the empty light goes on during winter. Winter 10-12L/100kms (esp. when it -30 with windchill atm), Summer 8-10L/100kms.

Anything under 220 miles/350kms per tank i believe is wrong

you answered your own question in your post. You know your getting bad gas mileage and you know you have an 02 sensor to replace. a faulty 02 sensor will definetly give you trashy mpg
