Not the o2 sims, but o2 sensors.
If they've never been changed before, then yes, you could try changing those, but I'd do a complete tune up first, if one hasn't been done recently.

Fuel filter
Air filter
Plugs
Wires

give her a tune up (plugs and wires), inflate your tires, take out extra weight (get rid of tire/jack combo and get fixaflat), get some fuel injector cleaners or some mystery oil (its at advancedautoparts), and yeah change out your 02 sensors if they have a lot of miles on them...
