Try replacing the fluids with the lowest viscosity stuff that still meets the Hyundai required specs. Amsoil isn't a bad starting point. Valvoline Maxlife ATF is usually really good in the transmission and available at Walmart.

If you are thinking of wheels, go with the lightest ones you can find to reduce rotational mass and get some low rolling resistance tires.
