You did not mention Air Filter, which has more effect on the MPG than the other factors you mentioned.
Ignition condition is also very important. Check your spark plugs for burning condition. Spark plug wires, distributor cap and rotor all contribute to the MPG figure.
While you are at it, check all air related plumbing, making sure of tightness. Is there air-leaking sound?
Vacuum lines should be checked too.
None of the above are expensive fixes and all are easy to do. What you save in gasoline will more than paying for the cost.
Good luck.
