All this talk about O2 sensors --

When I got my van 2 years ago, the O2 sensor was disconnected and remained
disconnected up until the time I did my head gasket repair and started
trying to fix the idle hunting problem.  In the course of trying to resolve
this problem, I connected and disconnected the sensor with absolutely no
apparent effect.

I had been getting 19-21 mpg right up until the head gasket failure.  Did
the PO have some sort of magic wand to make the van run so well without an
O2 sensor or is something hopelessly jimmied up?
