faulty 02's will make it over fuel not run lean hence why the car would use more fuel - a possibility though as over fueling can kill a cat

Sounds like lean running. Check for vacuum leaks, or a blocked cat. But a blocked cat will feel like it's down on power as well.

Yeah, it wouldnt be running at its best either way, Id also say either a blocked cat or running extremely lean on that bank.

Supercharged 6 should have twin cats , are both sides glowing or only 1 ?
Cat blocked for sure.
hope that cat isn't blocked
+1 here, doesn't sound right to me!
