I noticed my fuel consumption increasing before I got the P0133 code. Then, after the dealer replaced the sensor and reset the fuel trim (and possibly updated the ecu) the fuel consumption dropped back to where I'd seen it when I first got the car two months ago. For me that means 30+ mpg around town.
I wonder about the sooting up of the O2 sensor as a cause of increased fuel consumption. Is it possible that a dirty sensor might cause a decrease in mileage without actually triggering a DTC?
