Hi,
Two things I would strongly suggest: get a ScanGauge II and do an upper grill block. Oh, and pump up the tires to the sidewall max -- increased coasting helps immensely. My wife had a 2000 Focus wagon with the 1.8L ZTEC and four speed automatic. You are off to a very good start!
The Focus wagon is a quite roomy car -- we went on a 2-week tent camping trip with our two kids, with just a Thule on the roof, and we still managed ~32mpg for the trip. Watch out for a leaky rear license plate light -- if this shorts, it takes out the headlights. Also, check on any recalls -- yours is a lot newer than my wife's but it can't hurt to ask.
Is any of the roof rack removable?
