If I was car-pooling a group of friends I would expect them to chip in. I would probably say it at the start so they know where they stand. Even if I was offered a ride somewhere I would still offer to contribute towards the gas. I think it's the polite thing to do.

Nope... when I do for people I don't expect anything in return... and conversly when I have someone that helps me out I return the favor (I pay them the money without them asking). If the world was so simple that everyone did such a simple thing... life would be so more... yeah, simple. Thanks Zelo

Nope..I don't do either.My friends and family can hitch a ride with me anytime. My husband ask gas money though when his family needs him and he's using the car. The car is mine and he doesn't have any work and he knows I don't have enough for gas so he asked his relatives to put gas on the car if they need him.

I offer gas money when a friend offers me a ride. There are a few friends that give me a ride, but most of the time refuse to accept money for gas. I give a gift card to the friend when they have given me a lot of rides and won't let me pay. If my husband is giving me a ride, then he will have to just pay for the gas, but I get gift cards to help pay the cost anyway. I don't drive anymore because of my eye sight.

I don't sweety - I can't drive at the moment anyhow! If someone takes me out in the car I do offer to pay for the petrol but none of my family/friends will let me! xxx

I wish. My kids are growing up and they me to take them and their friends places and I wonder, who will pay for the gas. But again, I guess I don't ask because I feel I should take them that way I am still included in their groups and I can see what is happening and the type of kids my kids hang out with. Now aways, I feel better knowing that I know my kids friends and they know they can come to me if they needed help and someone to talk to other than their parent. I am more concern about being around for the kids than I am about the gas. of course, I would love to say, just take the bikes and see you later. but today's society has made me scared to even walk a block during the day by myself. Imagine letting the kids do that when they are my everything. I probably will have to spend less on my lunch today so I can pay at the pump...
