Default does elimintating o2 sensor get less mpg?

I need a new front o2 sensor, but was wondering about getting an off road x, would that decrease my gas mileage?

The front O2 sensor is the one that controls the fuel air mixture.Your car won't run right without it.

The back O2 sensors are the ones you can bypass. However the O/R x-pipe will give you much more power through out your entire rpm range. Gain in mileage???? I would say no because you'll be hitting the throttle to hear the exhaust constantly...lol
