Did all your other gauges look OK?  temp, pressures, etc...

If so, yeah.  Unless the 02 sensor was significantly out of whack and blew a bunch of fuel through the motor (cylinder washdown, cats glowing red) or was extremely lean... but I think you would have noticed those issues by the sound/power of the motor or the gauges.

FWIW...  Sticky.... The hand grips/joy sticks on my excavator started getting sticky, like the Ferrari interiors have been known to do.   A guy at the heavy equipment shop told me to spray them with Bug and Tar Remover from Turtle Wax then scrub them with a stiff bristle brush.  He showed me a set that looked great.   I haven't done it yet because I keep having to use the damn excavator...  So once I get to a point I know I don't have to move or dig anything I'll give it a try.  It that fails, I've got a friend who thinks he can get them scanned and 3D printed.

All,

Just as arriving home this morning from a relatively gentle drive (highways) of an hour or two, check engine light lit. Most likely cause O2 sensor? I'm due for annual inspection anyway, so will certainly have mechanics troubleshoot -- but am I correct that low risk of significant damage that might result from driving it about 10 miles despite check engine light?

Thanks,
Larry

P.S. Also extremely to find that now another piece of my black center console is deteriorating -- becoming disgustingly sticky, probably due to temperature and humidity in my garage. Not about to buy expensive carbon fiber replacement trim.
