Start with your oxygen sensor. Faulty oxygen sensor causes rich fuel/air mixture in the combustion chamber, there causing rich fuel economy.

Does your car misfires? If it does, have you cleaned the injectors and checked the high tension plug cables? If you have done that & the problem have not gone, you will have to do valve job on that car.

Diagnosing the Car first will give you the direct reason for the extra fuel consumption.

Chris, there is no way O2 sensor can cost 55k. It might not even be upto 20k. Make enquiries.

Faulty O2 sensor causes rich fuel economy/high fuel consumption. As long as the engine does not miisfire or hesitate while accelerating, replace it.

Replcae it with a GENUINE Oxygen Sensor. (Only genuine one will solve the problem).
