I'm not familiar with the car he did that to, but isolating the precise reason he got better economy would be nice. They were discussing injector opening times and fuel pressures but if there was a conclusion then I missed it. It's hard to know how well the OEM ECU compensates without having a wideband o2 sensor hooked up.
My car runs a return style fuel setup, converting to a regulated non-return pump would certainly shave some watts of use off, plus make playing with the pressure easier than buying a set of FPR's to swap.
