Burning too much fuel and harsh sound after 3k rpm!

hi everyone. my dad used my car when i was out of city for a couple of days. now when i'm using it i realized, my car is burning almost %20 more fuel on my everyday route. according to the reading of trip computer, car was burning 5.5liters/100km @70kph with cruise control. now i read 6.9-7.5. it differs even more when going uphill. it seems like having trouble with burning fuel?

also it sounds kinda different too. there is no obvious sound/rattle i can really say here but, it kinda sounds like pistons moving roughly inside the engine.

carbon buildup? hpfp? oil? pls help me.

09 mcs 65k km.
