Yea o2 sensor would be the best bet seeings if you drive like a granny it runs off the o2 sensor readings it only cuts it out at full throtal
But there's a million and 1 things that affect fuel useage
1 shot o2 sensor
2 using ac more
3 extra weight in car
4 wheels not straight
5 driving style
6 fuel filter
7 blocked air filter
List could prob go on but o2 sensors prob best bet as it was a suden change

Check your tyre pressure too.
I used to get at least 600ks out of that car when I drove like my gran.

Is it better for fuel economy when you drive under the full spool point though?
