It's just plain 'ol common courtesy! Especially with the gas prices going nowhere but up! I had to drive 2-1/2 hours away this past weekend for a singing engagement and I had 2 of our members with me. 1 offered gas money (heck, she just about filled up my tank). The other did nothing but read a book. I never ask for gas or toll money, but I think it should be automatic. You're putting the mileage, wear & tear on your car to get them where they gotta go. Some people assume that since you're going the same place they are, then it really doesn't matter if they kick out any funds because you are already planning to go there anyway.
***smh***
On the flip, a couple of years ago, me and 3 friends did a road trip from Philly to Pittsburgh (clear across the state) to attend a CD release. We used my car. I can honestly say that I barely came out of pocket the whole weekend. Gas, tolls, food, hotel...all of that was paid for. Now that's what I call common courtesy!
