I don't think it's fair that I should have to pick up all of the slack if other passengers don't pay, yet I agree w/ my mom, it's rude not to offer any. How I should I handle this if no other passengers offer gas money?

You mom said some gas money, not all of it. Just offer your share. I think $10. When you throw the driver some money the others will prolly follow. It will still be cheaper than driving yourself plus you can sit in the back and drink.
