Guarantee you it will increase MPG if you drive conservatively.
Shifting at lower than normal RPM (since you now have the same amount of power at 2.5k rpm than you used to at 2.7k. As long as you do not BOG your engine or go WOT at low RPM the car should get better MPG.
So this means not driving 70mph on a 55 anymore...go 65mph or 60mph.
CAI in my car upped MPG by like 3 on the highway but it sucked in the city because flooring just felt/sounded soo much better.
Engine braking (fuel shuts off after about 1 second at most when gas pedal is released) your way to stop lights will increase MPG as well. Add 3-5 psi in your tires for less rolling resistance, short ram intakes instead of cold.
Double clutching helps, but rev match seems the better option!
Clutch catching will help MPG...instead of squeezing the meat on your clutch when you shift, have the clutch catch before adding the throttle.
Hard at first but helps alot in the city!
Just my .02cents,
