The check engine light would come on for a couple minutes, then go out, car ran fine, but I had poor gas millage. 150 miles from a tank! They put the select monitor on and it came up O2 sensor failure, changed it and started getting 220 - 230 miles from a tank!

You can take your car to a local auto parts store. Ask them to do a diagnostic check, which they'll do with a machine, usually for free.

The best way to tell is with a code reader. If the sensor is bad then the computer will give a code. Just have a shop scan it for you.
