Runs better after some hard running

Just back from a 2700 mile trip dragging a house trailer and too much loot. All through the north eastern Appalachian Mountains. New York State probably has the steepest hills and narrowest roads of all.
6.0L/364 300HP Chev in a 4x4 Crew Cab with the factory trailer towing package and 4L80E trans.
Anyways I always set the trip odometer every tank of fuel. The past two tanks of fuel in the same ordinary driving have done 2 mpg better than before I left???
Must have finally broken the engine in driving up all those long steep hills at full power at 65mph in hot weather with the AC on full blast. Temp guage rose on several occasions from the normal 195F to 235F. Guage hits red at 257F so she was still safe.
