When you advance timing thats going to require/ and consume more fuel. Correct?

Not always.

More timing to burn the fuel you have in the chamber already...

Not necessarily. Fuel/air is a fixed quantity. Timing is adjusted around F/A, not the other way around. Too much timing is not a good thing, either.

Since you are starting the burn earlier in the cycle you will see a slightly leaner reading on a wideband but nothing significant specially with only a 2 degree increase in advance..
