How much gas money should I give my friend?

She s been driving for about a year, since she started driving she s given me rides many times. We work at the same place so on nights we work together she ll drive me home when she can which is usually about once a week, even though it s out of the way for her and probably adds an extra 20-30 minutes to her drive home. When we go to concerts, usually like an hour drive, she always drives. At first I never gave her money for gas, I offered a couple of times but she always said "you re my best friend and I have no problem driving you, you don t need to pay me" or something along those lines. I always felt guilty because I know how expensive gas gets, and in a way I m using tons of it for myself and she s getting nothing for it. A few weeks ago I gave her gas money because i kept feeling bad, I didn t want to come across as taking advantage. She finally accepted it because it wasn t really an offer I just handed her the money and told her it was for gas, and I guess at one point she realized she might need help paying for gas. We re going to another concert tomorrow also about an hour drive, and I was wondering how much is an appropriate amount to give for gas money? I don t want to give too little but I also don t wanna give too much.

Supply them with Free gas and Insurance.

If you do not like the price WALK. They charge a very reasonable price. The Driver does actually want to make a Salary not give out Free/Cheap rides.

Use 'he' when the gender is unknown (grammatically correct).
1. 'They' is confusing - you immediately think plural.
2. Stop giving into this feminist agenda which is destructive for the society right now. They take simple things and make a big deal out of them.
3. It's just language. Calm your sh1t.
4. "he" is shorter than "they". There is not practical benefit of replacing 'he' with 'they' when gender unknown. (see p.1 also)

Because of this, fuсk the rest of your question.

Please, no hate. I'm only looking for positive feedback.

So... I'm twenty-years-old and I still don't have my license. I have my permit but it expires in October. I am trying to learn how to drive but many things are keeping me from wanting to. I have been in 3 car accidents (all were the other person's fault), and one serious one that was very traumatizing. I already have a history of severe anxiety, and after the accident, I would rarely ride in a car and when I did, I sat in the back seat because if I sat in the front, I couldn't help myself from watching every little thing. Sometimes it would get so bad, that I would jump at everything, or grip my seat belt, or have panic attacks. So, of course after that I didn't practice driving for a few months. I still get mild anxiety when I'm the passenger but when I'm driving, I feel a lot calmer, but my mom (next to me) is always worrying and telling me, watch out for that and that and that when I know what's there and she'll jump or get angry when she assumes I'm about to make a mistake and then I don't even make one and it's very distracting and it definitely discourages me. I've talked to her about it, but she said she won't stop because she's afraid that something will go wrong. But I don't know any other drivers to teach me. And it doesn't help that I have ADHD and sometimes get a little overwhelmed with everything else going around me. I feel like I will never be able to drive alone because I'm afraid. Any good advice?
