The oxygen sensor, when working correctly, will help, not hinder your fuel milage. Disconnecting it will lead to looser regulation of fuel mixture, lower fuel milage (or possibly higher, but at the expense of reduced power, and very hot exhaust, depending on which way your air flow meter is out of whack). Not only that, disconnecting the oxygen sensor would be illegal in the united states, to the tune of a $2500 fine, in the unlikely event that you would be cought. It's a $30 part, replace it.
