I just calculated my milage and im getting just at 14 miles to the gallon pretty ****ty
If you're getting 14 mpg then why haven't you looked into that? Especially if the check engine light is on?
Run the codes and find out what's wrong. Could be O2 sensor, could be something else entirely.
A code reader is not necessary; the stock Check Engine Light or a test light should be more than adequate for reading codes. Ford EEC-IV trouble codes are all over the internet and in most service manuals.
I average 28-31mpg in my '94 Toyota truck and 25-28mpg in my SVO. You should be averaging at least the same with a 2.3 Mustang.

If there is a fault in the ECT circuit, then the ECU is probably not going into closed-loop mode when the engine warms up. That likely accounts for some of your poor fuel economy.
On a side note, wth is with those links in the quote of my post?
It means that your car either has a failing ECU or one mess of an electrical system.
