Actually none of that will improve mpg. Except replacing bad spark plugs. Superchips and change your driving style.

Throttle response, yes. A CAI might add 1mpg but that's it. My brother put a CAI on his WJ and got .5 better. I did all that to my XJ and tacoma back in the day and nothing improved but the sound. Got worse in my Tacoma actually. Adding those things just for improved mpg is not worth $600 for a 1mpg gain. Nothing beats a light foot and shifting early.
