I'd focus on the wheels and brakes after you get it running. If it's sat for a while, you'll want to make sure all the tires spin freely. Anything that drags or sticks will destroy your mpg. Grease the wheel bearings, change the diff fluid, check the calipers, brake pads, rotors, drums and shoes, air up the tires to 40 or higher.
