A test will need to be performed to find out what kind of information is in memory from the check engine light. This information, in the form of a "diagnostic trouble code" (DTC) is helpful in guiding a diagnostic process.
My guess based on your fuel consumption increase and your light being on suggests that the engine's processor thinks your engine is not getting enough fuel supplied, and is trying to give it more and more. This is usually because of too much air getting into the engine, as with a vacuum leak or air intake leak. The diagnostic test will guide a technician on the correct path. Good luck.
