This varies widely among vehicle manufacturers, but you may want to actually
warming-up the incoming air.
I'm not sure about Jeeps or Chrysler brands, but Saturns and some Hondas respond to this.
Same for cold starts -- intake air temp is generally one of the feedback parameters for the FI system. Generally, warmer = more efficient.
As far as mud, it depends on how thick the coating is

I was wondering about making a home-made intake from pvc and the cold air intake filter with some heat deflectors to try and make it breath a little better. How much difference in mpg is a clean Jeep vs a Muddy one?
