All the normal things that apply to all cars. Primarily drive slower on the highway and avoid use of the brakes, which means anticipate what traffic is doing. Since it's a hybrid, some of that braking energy will be recaptured, so it's already pretty efficient.

Hybrids are harder to wrangle more MPGs out of since they are essentially designed to hyper-mile for inattentive drivers.

You might think about a partial grill block to speed up warm up and slightly improve aerodynamic efficiency. I'd get a gauge to monitor coolant temps and set an alarm for when the cooling fan kicks on just to be safe.
