Dipper floor switch for headlights, 6 ft of rubber genuine fuel line, and a
dozen high quality hose clamps for same, and a killer flashlight.
  If you haven't had your wheel lug nuts off for a while, walk around and
untighten each lugnut and retighten to about 50 ft/lbs, which is half of
what the gorillas at the tire shop set them to with their air wrenches;
their setting might keep you from changing a flat at 2 am in an icy
rainstorm. BTDT.

In my daily driver I throw a small floor jack ( 40 lbs ) in the front trunk,
and an expensive 4 way lug wrench, (or a 1/2 inch driver breaker bar and
long socket for your lug nuts)  ......... because of the leverage.  If you
buy a new floorjack, give it a runthrough before you need it, check oil
level, etc.

In my case, because I am no longer a superman, I carry a cheap warm blanket
( $9 at wallyworld ) and when it gets down to about 10F outside, and because
my vair heater puts out heat at about the same rate as my cat's breath ....
me and my heater outlet become blanket buddies; keeps out the drafts from
all the leaks I put off fixing, and makes the trip enjoyable.
