Could a dirty air filter o r clogged fuel injectors be causing my Oshan X7 to burn more fuel?

My vehicle is more than a year old and hasn’t had a major service yet. Could components like the air filter o r fuel injectors be causing poor mileage due to dirt o r deposits, especially with local fuel quality?

Absolutely. In Pakistan’s dusty environment, air filters clog quickly, restricting airflow and making the engine use more fuel to maintain performance. Likewise:

Clogged fuel injectors cause poor spray patterns and incomplete combustion.

Carbon deposits build up faster due to poor fuel quality.

Recommendations:

Change your air filter every 10,000–15,000 km or earlier in dusty areas.

Use a fuel system cleaner every 5,000–7,000 km.

Schedule an injector service o r throttle body cleaning every 20,000–30,000 km.
