2007 Ford Focus oxygen sensor

    Over the last week I've noticed that my fuel efficiency doesn't seem to be where if probably should be so I decided to run a scan using Torque
    I'm just wondering if anyone can help me in seeing it there's a problem with the results please and what might be the cause?

    I had thought it might be a failing oxygen sensor?


    Edit: just to add, no fault code showed up nor did any engine light come on.
    Cheers

    I've never used torque but the only discrepancy I would guess at is that the minimum value on the bank 1 sensor 2 (post cat) isn't 0v minimum, I.e. a complete ground potential of 0v isn't being seen by the computer, what car is it?

    Sensor 2 shouldnt be moving very much if it is chances are your cat is knackered need to see it in real time.
    If it mirrors sensor 1 when it heats up cat is gone.

    Not sure what to make of the results, it's confusing because an oxygen sensor cant generate a voltage higher than 1.2 v, so what does the 7.xxxx voltage mean? They're not wideband sensors and even then they only get fed at most 3-4 v. The heater circuit is 12v but there's no indication that's what the app is measuring? Id send.Torques customer care dept the results and see what they can make of it...
