to lower or not to lower......

it looks like I will be inheriting my wife's 2010 Prius for my commuting (110 miles/day mostly at 60-65mph over significant hills)

once the car is mine,
I will be able to actually mod it

I'm wondering if lowering the car is worth the investment

what do you guys think?


I will likely also be doing:
some form of a grille block
smoothing out the underside of the car a little more
and smooth wheel covers

driving slower is not a real option


so far,
when the wife drives the car, we average about 46-48mpg
when I borrow the car for my commute, I average 50-53mpg
