How much gas money should I ask my friend for?

Question

I'm gonna take her to school everyday and in return she's gonna give me gas money. I live 15 miles from the school and she lives about 3 miles from me. I was thinking $15 a week but i was wondering if that sounds like too much or too little.

Answer 1

Ah maybe ask for 50 dollars or 40. no 60

Answer 2

If she is on the way $15 to $20. would be fine. Cheaper than public transportation and more convenient

Answer 3

i always say a$$, cash, or grass(weed)!! but 15 a week sounds fine too

Answer 4

find out how much she is willing to pay, maybe she's willing to give you a little more.

Answer 5

Does she live 3 miles farther from the school than you or is she on the way? You weren't clear. So, if she is 3 miles further, that's an extra 12 miles a day, yeah, that starts to add up quick. I think $15 is fair enough, depends what vehicle you're driving too.  

Answer 6

You need to figure out home much gas you used to get to school a week.  Say it was a full tank of gas, then you would ask for 1/2 of that money.  You need to do this right, because if you don't ask for right amount then you are going to resent picking her up.  You can always say, I am not sure, lets start at this price and if I see I am using more gas then I will let you know the difference, then this will always leave that door open to get more money if needed.  And she won't be able to say, well we agreed on this amount, and then your are stuck or in a hard situation.

Answer 7

Is she on your way? If so, just see how much she offers first.  If she is out of your way I might ask for a little more. Hope this helps you!

Another option would be to take turns filling up your tank so neither of you feels taken advantage of! I do need more details though. How often do you drive around aside from driving to and from school?

Answer 8

I think that it depends on how much money you have to pay 4 gas every week & let her pay half of that...
