What was the code? I've got a P0420 code on mine, indicating a bad O2 sensor as well. Check out Rockauto.com. They seem to be quite reasonable on parts, even with shipping. I got some parts from them recently for my civic.

Excellent tips William. There are a few lights that I can't avoid on my delivery routes. I've figured out which ones are longer waits depending on the lane I need to be in, and thus pay to turn the engine off. One is particularly quick cycles, so I just idle on them.
