Looking for suggestions on Volvo XC90

We just recently bought a Gen 1 HCH for my wife and kids to commute arounf 120 miles daily in. This puts me in our Volvo XC90 for my driver for now, as well as being our Sunday driver and road car. We just made a 700 mile round trip over the holiday weekend and aceraged somewhere around 20 mpg, maybe a little better. Any subtle aero suggestions on this ride? The ride height is high, so i may look into a belly pan. I was thinking front airdam, but I don't know if it would be effective because of the way the front tapers back. Any thoughts?

Here is a pic of a similar vehicle...
