Well, an air box cracked on the bottom could be letting in unfiltered air. Won't do much for mpg, but could seriously affect the mileage per engine!
Synthetic oil could definitely help--it has in mine for the past 27 years.
A different oil filter isn't going to change mpg, but the better one will keep more junk out of the oil.
Techron, AMSOIL PI, bg 44K, Redline SL1---any of these can help a bit.
