I don't think any of those mods will help MPG. In fact, I recommend just pocketing the cash and use that toward gas. To install those mods for other purposes (performance, sound, etc.) is one thing, but to throw $1000 for negligible gains (if any) in fuel economy seems counter intuitive to me. You can buy a lot of gas for the cost of all those mods, so why not just enjoy your 6.2 the way it is? (Also, you already have a "cold air intake" from the factory.)
Some people have claimed to see an increase in MPG from a tonneau cover.

Haha yeah, those 130-150$ gas bills kind of suck, but its totally worth it. My best average on a trip was 17 mpg, but my all time average is around 13-14 mpg.

Wow! I'd kill to average 14 MPG, my typical average is 11ish MPG (i.e. 21L/100KMs) in mixed driving but more city than highway. Best consistent highway mileage that I've EVER gotten was 15 MPG. But I am running 35/12.50/17 Toyo M/Ts in the Summer....slightly larger/wider, knobbier, stickier tires than stock.
