Default Whats going on?

Ok a bit weird this, but all of a sudden and I have done nothing to it, my car seems a lot faster, and weirdly I am getting an extra 50 miles to a tank.

Got me stumped!

Hope its not the light bulb phenomenom (burns bright then pops!)

Get the mass airflow sensor (MAF) checked out.
