Kenk's comments regarding the battery are quite reasonable. I'll add that if your spark plugs are older than 20k miles, that you might benefit from replacing them. I've never let them go as long as the 30k mile factory service interval, as I've noticed deteriorating performance as early as 15k miles, and reluctant cold-starting by 25k miles. If you're a lead-foot who spends more than the usual amount of time on boost, then you might get even less mileage out of a set of plugs.
