When the O2 Sensors are malfunctioning or missing ,The On Board Computer sets the fuel/air ratio to a default setting. Resulting in really poor gas mileage . Roughly around 12mpg *yuck* (at least this is what I got in a simliar situation on my '96 Dodge Ram 1500) The OBC uses the readings it gets from the O2 Sensors to properly calculate fuel/air ratios ect... So by all means replace them. Unless you like to fill up every two blocks and pay $4 a gallon each time. Hope this helps :)
