Only thing I can think off is the battery was disconnected for a few weeks, resetting the computer, or they fixed up the mysterious hole in the fuel tank.
But I would not recommend crashing your car to improve the economy.
See my post in AWD Fuel Consumption. Me thinks it is battery disconnection together with new radiator (after a small accident).

And also in the AWD vs FWD Consumption thread, I mentioned that since taking it easy on the road, the car is now averaging 12.5/100 with the same route taken before.
