Default Trip from Chicago IL to Orlando Fl

Hello
I plan a trip from Chicago to Orlando with My Audi. It is 2004 Audi A6 3.0Q with 72K miles. Anything important i have to check before i go to this trip. I changed my oil and checked all the fluids. Checked air. Anything else? I heard those cars have some issues with coils. Should i buy one just in case.

Thank You.

Air up the tires +2 lbs over normal; check air filter. Put in some fuel injector cleaner a couple times to clean everything out while running high speed.

I have a trip tomorrow from Atlanta GA. to Monroe La. should be easy....straight down I-20. I am going to try my luck with Shell and see what the car feels like. I am looking forward to running it to clean out the build up.

Took everyone's advice...2lbs of pressure over 36lbs, fuel injector cleaner and plenty of munchies...it was a breeze...and the car is running even better now after the trip...now its definitely time to change the oil...that will happen this weekend for sure.
