Buy more fuel. Sounds like you have cleared restricted injectors.

MPG isn't so easy to know. Takes multiple checks compared with checks all along.
Begs the question: Why did you use some injector cleaner in the first place? If something is/was wrong and somehow that worked I'm surprised?
The other thing is fuel (both gas + diesel) formulas change seasonally you could notice a difference with just that?
In the news because of the HACK ATTACK on pipeline any stored formulas were released to cover that can and would alter MPG if you kept a strict log for consumption to know what to expect,

Dear Tom
Thank you for taking out of your time to reply, actually there was nothing wrong with the car I just wanted to make sure injectors are clean I have added one bottle and after some time the mileage increased and after one or two years I have used a second bottle then the mileage increased once again, then I have concluded the reason
And no it's not seasonal it's leveled consumption all year long

?? !! How many times this time have you noticed "double" what you say was uniform for you before?
First is does this car run well as expected without change that cleaner or not?
Double is a LOT Blackheart, that almost suggests somehow you are losing fuel, theft, fuel place is cheating or the car isn't well right now with fuel delivery - injection in this case.
Also, was it running better before if anything I asked has an answer?
It can't just double without a better reason - done deal it wouldn't do that without correcting a problem or new one now.
Basic before going too nuts is if you can smell OK (some people don't) high or rich consumption leaves an odor anywhere near tail-pipe(s) a new paper towel just wiped inside (judgement please) would come out dark or black more than some other anything you have that uses fuel.
I'm still not ruling out you are buying fuel and being cheated but that's a lot to cheat by,
