I would say it's reasonable to conclude with your evidence that lowering improved your fuel economy, given the magnitude of the improvement. But we can't really know how much (whether it was a drastic improvement) without more rigorous testing. Subtle changes to other factors could be contributing (weather, driving style, routes, and more...)

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
