IMHO a good tune up, Plugs,wires,cap,rotor,pcv, Fuel Filter and Air Filter check all fluids and You don't have to But I run Amsoil Synthetic 10-30 or 10-40 oil and that reduces friction, I also use their Tranny fluid and rear diff fluid and their synthetic grease for all joints, and that picks up the mileage a couple MPG infact I noticed quite a difference!, Make sure tires are all in good shape and the alignment is right, No sticky rear Brakes or e-brakes, Basically look over the whole car and make sure there is nothin ready to give out, Fix any Leaks as extra oil isn't cheap these days! As long as everything is in good working order you will have a Great Trip and get Decent Mileage too!, Leave prepared though! Any thing that might go wrong on the way can and will so its good to be prepared for that, I know mostly elementary stuff But it works, Have a great trip!
