“Why Is My Fuel Consumption Suddenly High — Could a Dirty Fuel Filter Be the Hidden Fuel‑Guzzler?”

If fuel economy s noticeably without major changes in driving style, some suspect fuel delivery issues. Could a clogged o r partially blocked fuel filter be making the engine work harder — drawing more fuel to maintain performance? In Pakistan, where fuel quality can vary, how likely is this to happen, and how often should the fuel filter be inspected o r replaced?

A clogged fuel filter can affect fuel delivery and engine efficiency:

Restricted fuel flow forces the fuel pump to work harder, which can reduce mileage.

Poor combustion from inconsistent fuel supply can also increase fuel consumption.

Fuel quality in Pakistan can accelerate clogging due to impurities.

Solution:

Inspect o r replace the fuel filter every 30,000–40,000 km, o r sooner if symptoms appear.

Use good-quality fuel to reduce contamination.

Regular maintenance prevents hard starts, stalling, and higher fuel consumption.
