+1^^ and also:

Extra set of front pads, Brake fluid, slave cylinder, 2 or 3 hammers, all my timing tools (you never know when you might need to do a repair for someone if you travel) at least 1 extra alt belt, fuel pump relay, a small go-jo can full of misc. bolts & nuts, a few extra lug nuts, a test light, analog multi meter, and some extra wire incase, and flashlight's everywhere!

But then again, this is probably why my fuel economy was so poor!!
