You won't be able to detect any fuel consumption difference by doing this mod. It was the equivalent of closing up a business card-sized hole in the front of the car. That's not to say it doesn't help a small amount, only that the effect will be smaller than the normal variation in your fuel consumption from other factors.
FYI, the weather stripping between the bumper and the light on my car has come undone and the foam has slid further back than I'd like. The double-sided adhesive didn't stick to the foam as well as it did to the paint.
I'm guessing this is due to heat - not from the headlights but from sunlight on the black foam/black paint. (If it was heat from the lights, the strip on top of the headlight assembly would have let go too, but it's fine - because it's shielded from direct sun when the hood is closed.)
