150 miles per tank is bad yeah but I get that on my car every now and then. Usually when I have it sitting for a week or two cuz I need to drive my toyota for gas milage! Otherwise I'm psyhced when I get 200 miles per tank and my car idles at 1100 rpm could that have something to do with that?

your o2's shouldnt cause a random cylinder missfire. it may cause other things to happen such as running it very rich or vice versa which in turn can foul out a plug giving you a missfire.
