If you're doing the thermostat, replace any related hoses as well. And flush the coolant. Check all suspension bushings, shocks and ball joints for wear. Check your CV boots for tears. Suspension work may not help with fuel economy, but it will make your car more responsive and safe to drive. I was surprised how disintegrated some of my front suspension bits were.
