Yup. Just because he's an owner doesn't mean he knows anything about the vehicle. I see a lot on forums or facebook groups where guys are preaching about plug wires and ground straps too. Doesn't mean they work though. lol
Your best bet will be to pump the tires up to 45+ and teach your wife how to drive without brakes (DWB). A lot of the time in the Prius i try to use neutral (you could just coast as well) instead of regening because its still only around 60% efficient.
Also as stated above you could look into the temperature of the car on her commute and look into grill blocks and redirecting the intake for warm air. Its about time for me to do this on the Prius again this year as well.
