This shouldn’t cause fuel consumption. The upper side before oxygen senser or catalyst would cause high fuel usage.

I believe the part of the car you posted is the exhaust tail pipe.

Sure if this damage is not taken care of asap, it will continue to drain your fuel. Fix this first before you look at any other thing that might be taken your fuel unexpectedly.

A major reason for high fuel consumption, the oxygen sensor will give the ECU wrong information. More air will be admitted to the engine and invariably more fuel to get the correct air/fuel ratio.

Bad exhaust drains fuel faster. Go and fix your leaky exhaust.

OP please don't remind of my past predicament.

Thank God I sold that car last last sha......I committed the buyer of the car in my prayers and prayed the BP medication he will be buying should be original and not the fake BP medication sold in pharmacy shops around, because that will be double wahala for dead body.

Go and weld it.

Also check for other exhaust leakages.
Check the exhaust net
Check your O2 sensors.

20k is about 40 litres. That's plenty o. It could be the reason.
