2010 Prius Ecomod Suggestions?

Hello,

I have a 2010 Prius that I bought in January. I was wondering if any members have suggestions for mods to improve the mpg. I'm currently averaging 50.4 according to the HSI display. Since the car is still under warranty, I don't want to do anything that might cause Toyota to deny warranty coverage if anything goes wrong with the car. With that said, any ideas from the gurus?

Thanks,

Patrick

Toyota has done a good job of ecomodding the Prius already. However there are still things to do like grill blocks, block heater, smoothie wheel covers, wheel skirts, underbody panels, PHEV kit...

Make sure you accelerator pedal doesn't stick. That can screw up some gas mileage.
