Here are some ideas:
- remove the roof rack
- belly pan will be awesome - corrugated plastic works well
- try some friction modifiers like ws2 in the engine oil & differentials
- go full synthetic for transaxle/cvt, diffs, and engine
- see after going synthetic if you can block the upper half of the upper grille
- make some wheel spats if it doesn't have any
- get led headlights/drl (ebay is great for this)
- nokian low rolling resistance tires (get better as tread depth decreases)
- lightweight rotary forged wheels (like enkei pf01 or centerlines rotary forged)
- get an elm327 Bluetooth obd2 transmitter from dx.com and Torque Lite (free) for Android to watch your real time temps

Nice ride!
