I would almost put money down that someone is taking your gas. 80 miles to a tank just doesent seam possible.

Buy a locking gas cap and see if your mileage improves.

Any chance your tank is leaking and you don't notice it because the gas is evaporating before it hits the ground?

Are you sure your gas gauge is accurate?

The o2 sensor is on the manifold. The oil smells normal and i had same problem with old sensor so probably not bad sensor. I was getting 14 to 16 miles per gallon then just all of a sudden it started to suck the fuel. Im gonna change head gasket cuz im sure it needs to be changed anyways.
