Air filters?
Exhaust systems?
Air intake?

It seems that computer modification is out of the question due to the hybrid control module.
Exhaust and intake are too much money for too little return, if you even get a return. Some of those products might lower your mileage.

Without a lot of testing, no one can really say if any of these products are going to help your mileage. The makers of these products always seem to claim mpg improvements, but with no evidence.

But, warm air intakes can be made for cheap. They sometimes help mileage. Testing is involved.

Air filter? Stick with good old OEM.
