Tire air pressure gauge, maglite, disposable camera, Thomas Bros. metropolitan bay area map, and a PVC figure of an anime chick taking off her shirt that sits behind the rear seats. ;)

Whatever was in the car when I bought it from the dealer.

Spare fluids are REALLY handy. I have tranny fluid, oil, coolant, power steering fluid, brake fluid and a small (1 gallon) thing of gasoline.

a handheld GPS device, a toolbox with a jack and other stuff needed to change a tire, a big maglight flashlight and a gerber multiuse tool.
