I decided to disect my fuel filter at 125K and was amazed by its construction. The spiral wound paper can accomodate a huge amount of dirt before clogging up. As the inner layers fill up with crud, the fuel flow just moves to the outer layers. This is why they are more expensive than the smaller conventional fuel filters.
I think the Bosch filter could have easily lasted to 150k miles so changing them out every 60k is premature unless you have a bad gas tank or regularly buy dirty gasoline.
