You can try blocking off the the (tiny) upper grill -- it probably won't help much, but you might get a boost. Some rear wheel skirts (as far down the opening as you can) would probably help.

Running as much as possible without heat or A/C can help a lot in the Prius, and learning how to keep it running in EV mode as much as possible, will help a lot, too.
