Take a cooler on the airplane to use in the vehicle. Put a roll of paper towels in there. Get bottle of windex on the road, do not take on aircraft. Take your air pressure guage, and a compass if you have one. Pack a flashlight. Cel phone!
Get water and light soft drinks in cooler, don't get dehydrated.
I have done 1000 miles non stop, I don't recommend this, it might be fatal for some, depends on your consitution.
Stop at a Walmart or parts place and get some Techron Concentrate for the fuel.
Check oil when delivered and check again next fillup to detect any problems sooner than empty :), check coolant level too.
Unfamilar roads, take a radar detector.
Driving into the morning sun... take a hat and sun glassses, polarized.
