Advancing the ignition "too much" according to the OEM can increase power, increase fuel economy, make starting easier and increase NOx.
So do some ABA testing, you may find the further advanced ignition is better for FE.
Giving an otto about 8 more degrees of advance over OEM recommendations is pretty common.
