New car, new goals. 91 Ford festiva

I finally got smart and realized I needed a beater car that was economical. I was searching for a cheap car that got at least 30MPG and was a hatchback so I could throw tools and car stuff in the back.

That led me to a 480 dollar ford festiva. The interior was ripped apart and every seal was laying in the car. It has a wicked oil leak from the valve cover but it runs well and the odometer says 98k. I don't know if I believe it but the car seems to run good.

My goals are as follows.

1. Establish baseline (working on now). Going to try and go for two tank minimum but I may not make it.
2. Grill block
3. Wheel covers
4. Engine kill switch
5. Kammback (if I get really motivated).

What other ideas should I be looking at?

I mostly drive in the suburbs / city so I rarely go over 55 MPH. I have begun doing a little EOC but not much.
