Yes, a faulty catalytic converter can cause fuel consumption to raise.

I would check your EGR valve and EGR valve tube for blockage or carbon build up. a faulty or clogged EGR valve will overtime distroy a catalytic converter. second thing to check is your Oxygen Sensors. these sensors are the computers first reading of bad fuel mixture, if they are clogged with carbon, they can distroy your EGR valve, which inturn kills your converter.
