Why is my Suzuki Cultus experiencing poor fuel efficiency due to a clogged air filter?

A clogged air filter in your Suzuki Cultus can reduce the amount of air entering the engine, causing a rich air-fuel mixture too much fuel, too little air. This can lead to incomplete combustion and decreased fuel efficiency. When the engine is forced to work harder to get the proper air-to-fuel ratio, it burns more fuel, resulting in higher fuel consumption. Regular air filter maintenance can help keep the engine running efficiently and improve fuel economy.

A clogged air filter can cause poor fuel efficiency in your Suzuki Cultus because it disrupts the balance of air and fuel entering the engine. When the air filter is clogged, less air is allowed into the engine, which causes the air-to-fuel mixture to become rich too much fuel for the limited air. This inefficient combustion process leads to more fuel consumption and reduced fuel economy. Additionally, the engine has to work harder to compensate for the lack of air, which further reduces efficiency. By replacing the air filter regularly, you ensure that the engine gets the proper amount of air, helping it burn fuel more efficiently and improving fuel economy.
