Explain This!!!

Here's something new to figure out. A couple of weeks ago I cracked the lower front bumper. Both of my driving/fog were broken. I took the lights out and put the black covers back in, because of the cracked bumper the right side cover fell out. I am on my second tank of gas and now my mpg has increased to 28 mpg average. Also seems to have a little more pep. I am not complaining just wandering why. What do you think?

I had a piece of metal in the road blow up into my bumper cutting it across the front and have not experienced any change in mileage. Mabye I hit it too hard?

Well when my bumper was crack and bent up, I could not even drive mine so you really are lucky to get getting better MPG what about horse power?
