Check Engine Light

Was out of town with the 2004 Dodge Stratus 6 cylinder and the check engine
light came on.

Stopped at a local mechanic and he checked it out with his computer. He
turned the light out and said it was the O2 Sensor. He couldn't change it
but said it would be ok to drive it home and have a local mechnic look at
it.

I drove it home 120 miles and the light stayed out.

Could his computer have had a false reading or could the O2 sensor have
started working once again?

Is it true that if the O2 sensor goes out the only consequences is the
motor will burn lean and poor gas mileage?

I don't want to get stalled.
