Mopar's Direct Connection Performance Catalog(and several other performance catalogs) sell advance keys and cams for your car.
Advancingthe timing will lower the effective torque curve and help you get better mileage by reducing the strain on the engine.
Also, if you want a different cam for economy, look to see if you can find one labeled "RV" or "Towing" These profiles are generally lower lift and timing adjusted for more torque down low, where it matters most.
