Low temperature thermostat will lower fuel economy and increase engine wear.
EGR restrictor will likely lower fuel economy.
Cold air intake will also lower fuel economy.
Air intake temperature simulators are guaranteed to lower fuel economy, they trick the engine into believing the air is cooler than it really is, encouraging the ECU to add more fuel.
