Is it possible to have a bad O2 sensor without the engine light coming on? Could it be something else that is causing such poor gas mileage that might have been overlooked?

Thanks in advance.
If we had the year, make, model and engine size, we might be able to locate them.
Probably could locate them by the TSB number, but that is time consuming. I can tell you that I might help you out with one or two, but not the whole list.

Thanks!
With the amount of TSBs that you were concerned with, I would suggest you check out Alldata's DIY subscription. It will provide you with ALL info (including TSBs full text) for your vehicle for one year for about $25.

Extended Shifts During Cold Operation (Replace Shift Solenoid Valve Assembly)
4T65-E Transmission Delayed Shifts, Slips, Flares or Extended Shifts During Cold Operation (Replace Shift Solenoid Valve Assembly)
Condition
Some owners may comment on one or several delayed shifts, slips, flares or extended shifts during cold operation. These symptoms can affect the 1-2 shift only. The transmission won't shift out of 1st gear until the temperature is high enough to unstick the solenoid. This condition can last up to several shift patterns. These symptoms can return after the vehicle sits, usually 6 hours or more.
Cause
The 1-2, 3-4 shift solenoid valve not exhausting may be the cause of these conditions.
Correction
Replace the 1-2, 3-4 shift solenoid valve. Refer to the appropriate Service Manual information for replacement procedure.

I was specifically looking for #00-02-35-0031 Clunking Noise Under Hood and can be felt in the Steering Wheel. I'm feeling something of that nature in my steering, but not all the time (mostly on right hand turns at about 30 MPH).
I was actually going to get the AllData subscription for this specific TSB, but also felt it would be a good thing to have to stay informed about possible problems with my truck.
Thanks again for all the info!
Nowadays, they modify and lube the part. I'd get it done now, so it's under warranty. If it happens again out of warranty, you may be able to get it fixed again under warranty, then.
You may want to check out the Impala forum. They talk about that particular issue alot.
Condition
Some customers may comment on a clunk type noise coming from under the hood that also can be felt in the steering wheel. These conditions may be more noticeable when turning at low speeds on rough road surfaces.
Correction
Important
DO NOT REPLACE THE FOLLOWING INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT P/Ns
26085548
26049343
26083324
26088325
Remove the intermediate shaft from the vehicle and lubricate the intermediate shaft with a Steering Column Intermediate Shaft Lubrication Kit, P/N 26098419.
The remote you should see the dealer about. The seatbelt, is a wear item.
CONDITION:
Water leaks onto headliner, causing possible water stain on headliner.
CAUSE:1. Sunroof front and/or rear drain hose connections loose at sunroof module.
2. Front drain hose pinched by roof panel attachment bolts and/or rear drain hose kinked due to assembly of the grommet to the hose on vehicles built before and including VIN WZ246268.
3. Grommets at lower end of sunroof module front drain hoses may be obstructed by debris and/or be too restrictive on vehicles built before and including VIN XZ301802.
4. Void(s) in body seam sealer used at various locations on sunroof module.
It might be worth it to check it out.
Before I take the car back, I'd like to know if anyone out there has had this problem and had these TSBs performed on his/her car, or otherwise have knowledge of what they are all about? I've lost my faith in the dealership and want to able to point out to them exactly what they're supposed to do. Many thanks in advance and sorry for the longish post.
It is a warranty item, If your vehicle is under warranty.

This bulletin involves selectively erasing and reprogramming the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with new software.
MODELS:
2000 - 2001 (PL) Neon
SYMPTOM/CONDITION:
Some vehicles may exhibit one or both of the following symptoms:
^ 2001 model year vehicles; in ambient conditions typically below 16°C. (60°F.) the engine may undershoot the normal idle speed when braking the vehicle to a stop with the clutch depressed (manual transmission equipped).
^ 2000 or 2001 model year vehicles; engine roughness immediately after manually switching the A/C system "Off". Normal operation returns after a wide open throttle (WOT) occurrence or after engine restart.
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURES:
If Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC's) are present, record them on the repair order and repair as necessary before proceeding further with this bulletin. If the condition(s) can be duplicated or are described by the customer, perform the Repair Procedure.
Qty............ Part #.............Description
1...........04669020..............label,authorized software upadte
1...........04275086..............Label,authorized modification
Parts required
CH6000 Scan Tool (DRBIII)
CH7035 General Purpose Interface Bus Cable (GPIB)
CH7000/7001 J1962 Cable
MDS2 (Mopar Diagnostic System)
EQUIPMENT REQUIRED:
NOTE :THE MDS2 AND DRB III(R) ARE REQUIRED TO PERFORM PART OF THIS REPAIR, WHEN USING THE MDS2 AND THE DRB III(R), THE SYSTEM MUST BE OPERATING AT CIS CD 2085 OR HIGHER.
REPAIR PROCEDURE:
Reprogram the PCM using the MDS2 (Mopar Diagnostic System) and DRB III(R) (Scan Tool).
NOTE :THE FOLLOWING STEPS ARE REQUIRED BY LAW.
-Type the necessary information on the "Authorized Software Update Label" p/n 04669020. Attach the label to the PCM and cover the label with the clear plastic overlay.
-Type the necessary information on the "Authorized Modification Label" p/n 04275086 and attach the label near the VECI label.
So I don't have the new bulleting yet. I will see what I can find out though.
If the vehicle is not under warranty, then it is an out of pocket expense to you.
If you just bought the vehicle, then you may (not always) be able to get them to cover the repair, but the likelyhood of it happening is fairly slim.
If the dealer is a reputable dealer and concerned about his customers and you only recently purchased it, he might just cover it. But also be aware that the TSB may have been done already.

Information -- Battery Insulator Replacement
1999 and Prior Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks
It has been found that the battery thermal insulator, installed on many new General Motors vehicles, is not always being placed back on the vehicle's battery when the battery is removed or replaced. The installation of the insulator is essential for battery life.
When a battery insulator is specified for use on a particular vehicle, the underhood temperatures for that vehicle are high enough to be critical to battery life. Omitting the thermal insulator when installing the battery will considerably reduce the life of the battery by exposing it to higher underhood temperatures. Inspect the insulator for any damage. If the insulator is damaged or missing, replace as required.
