Can Code C101F be the cause of my horrible mpg? HELP BAD MPG 😭

I’m trying everything but I’m in awee I can’t find out what’s causing my horrible mpg . Probably about 26 city 30 -33 max highway I have a 2019 mirage le 135 miles. I’ve done many fuel treatments in the past 4 days please don’t suggest that. That code has been active for a while and my mpg on my dash is showing anywhere 26-33/34 avg. I do have code P0421 show up for bank 1 warm up cat but I ran cat cleaner and it disappeared and cars acting fine. Tomorrow I’ll be cleaning the throttle body and fixing that sensor. Anyone have suggestions? I was told do a smoke test for leaks in exhaust but that was for the cat code. And I really don’t think that’s it. I was told to replace the upstream o2 sensor because it could be lazy but I don’t got a code for it and I don’t got money to throw around playing guessing games anymore.

Every 5-10k miles or more my check engine light pops on for p0421 which says bank 1 catalyst below threshold. I just unplug battery and it stays off for a long time until maybe a month or few later decides to come back. Do I Need a new catalytic converter or should I just change the downstream 02 sensor?

My 2019 mirage le is great I’m at 135k miles do regular maintenance. I do have my tires not the best currently but far from bad. I noticed recently randomly upon hitting 60-70 mph my steering wheel and front end starts to shake pretty bad not horribly but not good and I can feel it in the whole car. What could this possibly be going on?
