Shut up Zack, you have known about this for a few weeks and your original excuse was you didn't want to go until you had long arms. Your speaking privileges have been revoked.

1 moved IAT from intake runner to intake tube and gained a solid .4MPG's

2 eliminated clutch fan and went with 3 electric fans this got .2 MPG's

3 E3 plugs and neon injectors got a good .6 MPG's

4 adjusted driving style gained .3 MPG's

Next is bored throttle body

All in I gained about 1.5-2 MPG's I'm up to 13 MPG's on 35's and 4.88's driving at 70-80 mph

Point being there are better plugs out now and have been proven to improve performance. To some it is worth it to others it is not. I am happy with the E3's.
Now moving your IAT to there its now in a cooler spot ? I was under the impression if you moved it to a cooler spot it will cause computer dump more fuel thinking its colder than it is? Yes ...No? Like one of those bogus performance chips that's just a resistor in a box..

Hey I'm all about making the Jeep as fuel efficienct as it can be...why not I don't have stock in BP. An extra 10 miles to a tank could be difference between getting to a gas station or not.. I try to keep plenty of fuel in it though.

Driving style is a big part imo because I can drive around all day and get up to speed just fine and not go over 2,300 rpm at all. I really never bring the Jeep above 3,000 rpms. Once in awhile I open it up to blow it out. I started watching my tach and just resting weight on the pedal causes the rpm to jump 700 rpm and you don't even hear or feel it. So I try to roll and stay off throttle as much as possible. I run the turnpike almost every weekend and I average 18mpg doing 65-70

Neon injectors?? What are they and what are the benefits of them over stock injectors? How much would it cost to get all new injectors?

Dodge neon injectors. Theyll give you slightly better mpg and a little performance over the stock injectors

But sometimes, and I mean very few times, they'll throw a CEL. Mine does, and it doesn't run any better with them.

I've got a set I'm going to try in the trail rig since it doesn't matter with that. Kinda want to see if there's a difference between the 99 and 98.
