So to answer your question: larger pumps can and do push more fuel than stock. But it does not effect your fuel economy because all the extra fuel just gets dumped out by the regulator.
Quick question: If you increase the pump volume and retain the stock fuel pressure, won't that just heat up the fuel faster, since more volume is being pumped over and over, verses being burned in the engine?
