Does that tell anyone anything?
Chuck.
Look at the worsening as a good thing that will make the problem easier to find

The O2 sensor signal, if it's out of range, can either over enrichen and cause bad gas mileage and bad emmissions, or over lean and cause stuttering and stalling. This would only happen if the coolant temp was up over 60+some C.
If you dont have a passenger often... or even if you do ...you can pull out the sensor wire from under the passenger seat carpet for easy access when the symptoms manifest themselves. Or just pull it now and see if they don't come back. Hopefully it's something that easy.
