30 MPGs in a Prius? Wow, that seems pretty low.
It seems all the best tips have already been mentioned, though I will add one more, minimize idling.
Don't start up the car, go in for coffee, and load her up for the day, don't start the engine until you're going to move the car.
Take it easy on the pedal too, sometimes, if you watch your instant FE, you can tell that you're pressing too hard on a road, you can let off, and reapply less pressure to keep your speed the same, but improve your FE at the same time. (occasionally)
Good luck, and enjoy!
