Several factors could cause your Suzuki Cultus to consume more fuel than usual:

Driving Habits: Sudden accelerations, speeding, o r frequent idling can reduce fuel efficiency. A more aggressive driving style can cause excessive fuel consumption, so driving more smoothly and steadily can improve mileage.
Engine Performance Issues: Problems with the engine, such as dirty fuel injectors, worn-out spark plugs, o r a clogged air filter, can result in poor fuel combustion, leading to higher fuel consumption.
Tire Pressure: Low tire pressure increases rolling resistance, causing the engine to work harder and consume more fuel. Always check tire pressure regularly.
Fuel System Problems: Clogged fuel filters o r malfunctioning fuel injectors can disrupt the normal fuel flow, causing excess fuel consumption.
Air Conditioning: Running the air conditioning for prolonged periods can also lead to higher fuel usage, especially in heavy traffic o r at low speeds.
Solution:

Monitor your driving habits and try to drive smoothly.
Perform regular maintenance on the engine, including spark plug and air filter changes.
Keep your tires properly inflated and replace fuel filters as recommended.
