Some hope but if its as jammed as it sounds, no mods will really matter other than finding a different route that isn't so congested. Other option include:
DRIVING
> creating a larger front buffer gap in front of you
> neutral coast when possible (easier if you have that gap)
> neutral idle if you must idle
> engine off if nobody is moving
> turn off all unnecessary accessories (A/C, radio, coffee maker, etc)
> look into alternative route
TIRES
> make sure the tires are pressured up
> opt for low rolling resistance tires
> look into lighter wheels
WEIGHT
> put your car on a diet
> put yourself on a diet
ENGINE
> go as thin as you can but make sure your car can handle it. Some recommend synthetic or 0w but I have no experience with that.
