Honestly, there aren't a lot of easy and effective mods for many modern engines. Even with something older like my Insight and Civic hybrid, I'm pretty much limited to a warm-air intake. Underdriving the accessories isn't even all that useful, because there's no alternator, and thermal efficiency is already close to 40%, which is actually better than many power plants.
