Hey Nathan. There are no sunny days until April... Man its dreary.
It's that time of the year. Bad gas and lots of warmup/cold driving. I'm around 18-20mpg mostly city. FWIW I replace plugs every year if not every 6 mos but the NGK 7EV's foul quickly. Try plugs first. You can test the output of the o2 sensor pretty easy with a multimeter by pulling back the boot on the black (single) wire - red lead to the wire and black to good ground. It should give some insight into its range and sluggishness.
Pull the fuel pressure regulator vac line off. If theres gas in it, its bad. This is ususally a pretty "significant" failure and you'd see black smoke from the exhaust (and oil might smell like gas).
Take it easy.
