In order to be a roadside samaritan, you most certainly need at least a 3-gallon explosion-proof can of gas. (To be an ultra-serious samaritan, you need some diesel fuel as well... ) Really, in the days when I drove Citroen 2CV with inoperable instruments (any instruments), so the only way to estimate the qantity of fuel left was calendar or tapping the tank and therefore spare fuel was a must, I was rescuing about one stranded fuel-starved driver a month.

I see you prefer candles to those sticks with 'firefly extract' (luciferine and luciferase, IIRC). How about signal flares and emergency homing beacon? On the other hand, one does not get that lost on NJ turnpike, does one? Those are more for Doug .

Are you not slightly anxious driving around with a bottle of LOX?
