Default Road trip help? O2 sensor died, mpg tanked. CenCal-SoCal

Hey y'all, posting here since there's a HUGE difference in the numbers here vs. the P38 section...
Halfway down the length of Oregon the MIL came on (I'd been noticing the odometer:fuel level ratio seemed a lot worse than I was expecting).

Pulled over and docked the computer - it' throwing 0133, 0134, 0135. All Bank 1 O2 failure codes. I cleared them and kept driving - made it into Napa a few hours ago, having bought twice as much fuel as I'd budgeted for and going a lot slower than my wife would like (headed down for our baby shower!)

Headed to L.A. on Wednesday morning. Any thoughts/ideas on where to pick up a used sensor to complete this trip? Anyone Bay Area to L.A. parting a truck or want to stick one in an envelope?

4.0 Bosch.

Thanks!

First, why the hell did you keep driving it, any local parts stores could sell you replacement 02's? Also, never use a used 02 sensor.
Chances are real good that you have toasted one of your cats.

Thanks Abran!

Mike, I was watching live sensor data come out of the OBD port and made the call that perhaps it had resolved itself. That and I was in the middle of nowhere, so popping over to the parts store wasn't really an option. I should have stopped once hitting a more populated area, but it was running and not throwing any codes, so I thought maybe it was behaving.

The thing is, cats and engine are getting replaced after this trip is over anyway, so I really just want to make it there and back with as little cost and impact on our schedule as possible - within reason of course. I also want a working truck.
