What? They banged the dirt out of the filter and put it back in????? A new filter is $10! And, I assume your access road is dirt, so there would be a fair amount of dirt in the paper filter.

Not your fuel filter. When it cloggs, less gas is supplied.

The XC is due to have its vacuum lines inspected, look for cracks. Don't forget the turbo vacuum lines and the fuel pressure regulator vacuum lines between the block and the firewall.

Last, the front O2 sensor might be reading low and increasing fuel delivery.
