I'd treat a hotter thermostat as a slight, unquantifiable gain. The theory's all there, but it's just not something that I'd expect to actually be able to see in my gas logs.

Sure you may see a difference if you bump up the temps a few hundred degrees, but at only +10º you aren't likely to see much.
