Welcome. Is it yours, or the company's? If it's yours, lose the roof rack for sure, the running boards if they're not a PITA, & the spoiler if you're good at body work.

Is it AT or MT? Equipped with the 2.2 or 2.4 L engine? In all cases, you're already beating the EPA combined fuel economy, but you can do significantly better. Keep your speeds down, and conserve momentum. Plan routes to avoid stops, drive 5-10 mph below freeway speed limits, and start coasting to lights and stop signs a couple of blocks in advance.
