If the clutch is slipping you WILL use more fuel. I'm seeing that right now too. Mine only slips at higher boost in lower gears. I just baby it to keep it from slipping until I can get to work on the clutch.
If this car is going to be a winter beater/spare car, you probably don't have to go with a cold air intake. It would be a costly modification that probably won't be worth it. Just get a K&N filter, open up your air can a little and tune up the engine. As long as it's a decent engine, it should be allright.
