Yes, a clogged air filter can increase fuel consumption. Restricted airflow makes the engine less efficient, forcing it to burn more fuel to maintain the desired power output. This is noticeable both on long routes and city driving, where the engine may need to work harder to accelerate o r maintain speed.
