I don't know about the 1.8L, but the 2.0 or 2.2 with FWD around that era was specifically designed for efficiency...so you're probably starting off on the right foot.

Warm air intake, grill block, pump up the tires, check that everything under the hood is running right (spark plugs, plug wires, o2 sensors, thermostat, temp sensor), possibly upgrade to a heated o2 sensor, LRR tires when yours need replacing, alignment...adjust the nut behind the wheel...then it's time to start messing around with aero mods.
