Could My Suzuki Bolan’s Air Filter Be the Reason for Poor Fuel Economy?

I’ve heard that a clogged o r dirty air filter can reduce fuel efficiency, and I’m starting to notice that my Suzuki Bolan’s fuel economy has worsened. I drive in areas with a lot of dust, and I’m wondering if the air filter is the cause. How can I check if the air filter is affecting my Bolan’s fuel efficiency, and how often should it be changed?

Yes, a clogged o r dirty air filter can significantly impact your vehicle’s fuel economy. The air filter plays a crucial role in supplying the engine with clean air for combustion. When it’s clogged with dirt, dust, and debris, the engine has to work harder to get enough air, which can cause increased fuel consumption.

In dusty environments like many areas in Pakistan, the air filter can get clogged quickly. To improve fuel economy, check the air filter regularly every 10,000-15,000 km and replace it if it looks dirty. Replacing the air filter is inexpensive but can greatly improve engine performance and fuel efficiency.
