Running rich

07' 28k miles. Stock with just a straight pipe in place of the cat. Spacer added for the O2 sensor so I don't throw a CEL.

Recently my car has been running insane rich. Park the car and go inside and smell it in the bedroom if the window is open. So far I haven't noticed any loss of MPG. Is this due to the O2 sensor isn't giving a 100% correct reading so in turn its adding more fuel?

Or is it time for a AP?!
