If economy is a concern, you shouldn't have bought a 3500 pound turbocharged vehicle. FWIW, keep it stock except for a custom tune, and ask for leaner maps rather than more power. The rest comes from "adding lightness" as Jason said, or simply driving slower.

so far, now that i have by baja, I have been getting ~20MPG so far and I am not too hard of a driver. If I keep it in Drive and not sport shift I have been getting consistantly 21mpg, but if I take it into sport shift I have been getting about 19.5mpg.

That's not bad considering the extra weight the Baja is carrying around.
