This shouldn’t cause fuel consumption. The upper side before oxygen senser or catalyst would cause high fuel usage.

Catalytic converter has nothing to do with fuel consumption but to convert harmful fumes to more environmental friendly substances.

Something significant is wrong with your vehicle

When the exhaust of any engine is bad. Be it vehicle or even generator engine, it will consume fuel. I have experienced it with both my car and my generator before.

A leaky exhaust pipe is a SURE reason for higher than normal fuel consumption. QED.

Your 20k fuel is equivalent to 6k fuel before the increment. Assess your consumption in litres not on cost.

The fuel we buy nowadays are mixed , it evaporates easily. It seems adulterated. Even small car owners of 1.6 liters engine are complaining..

from the front end it will have air oxygen enter the engine as back pressure.

But from the tail end the air might not reach the engine. Th pictures if from the tail end.

It might affect fuel economy but i am not sure of that. So he better fix it and come back to give us a review

Fix it first, then buy another 20k fuel and run on the exact distance.....then come back here and share your summation.

The short answer is 'No'. Don't let everybody deceive you and advice on something they don't understand.

Even damaged/absent catalyst would only increase your consumption by less than 15%. For clarity, that's to say, where you'd ordinarily burn 10 liters you would be burning about 11 and half litres.

You need to troubleshoot this your fuel consumption very well but I believe you were short-changed at the pump.

20k fuel is about 32liters and you've travelled over 100km.

So, what kinda vehicle are you driving?!

It's ain bad if you're driving big engine vehicle.

If the leak is before the MAF or between the exhausted manifold and pre 02 sensor, yes fuel will drain.anything after that.. fuel consumption isn't affected.
Re: Could This Be The Reason For High Fuel Consumption? by osayuwamwen(m): 9:16pm On Aug 24, 2023
Oga it does ooh if yr exhauste system have any leak it always have a negative effect on fuel, u use more fuel
nakirai:
I don't think the exhaust has anything to do with the fuel consumption. Problem should be from your carburettor.
