A sudden in fuel efficiency can be caused by various factors. Here are the most common ones:

Dirty Air Filter: A clogged air filter can restrict airflow to the engine, leading to incomplete combustion and increased fuel consumption.
Faulty Fuel Injectors: If your fuel injectors are clogged o r malfunctioning, they may not deliver fuel efficiently, leading to poor fuel economy.
Driving Habits: Aggressive driving, rapid acceleration, o r excessive idling can reduce fuel efficiency. In busy traffic conditions like those in Pakistan, frequent stop-and-go driving can also increase fuel consumption.
Tire Pressure: Low tire pressure causes more rolling resistance, making your car work harder and use more fuel.
Fuel Quality: Poor quality o r contaminated fuel may cause inefficient combustion, reducing fuel economy. Fuel quality in some areas of Pakistan can vary, which may impact your cars efficiency.
Solution:
To improve fuel efficiency, check your air filter, ensure your fuel injectors are clean, maintain proper tire pressure, avoid heavy acceleration, and use quality fuel whenever possible.
