Best advise you'll find is don't buy it, especially if you're going to be doing a lot of driving. I realize you want it, and its "cool", but everyone I know has issues ($$$) with them and like you said they're massive gas hogs. The amount of work you'll need to do to get it to anywhere near reasonable mileage (not even good mileage) is 4X the work someone with a normal car would have to do, and you still won't be close to anyone with a midsize car. If you search the garage you can see the majority of ecomodders who own Jeeps aren't even getting 20 mpg, and these are people who drive and mod for better efficiency.
