Best friend
My best friend's a senior. She finally got a car so she's been driving around lately. I haven't seen her over the summer or anything. i also transferred to a different school .. so I haven't seen her since the last day of school. We plan to hang out later today.. she's going to drive us to the mall. But in our next message.. she said i could save your mom the trouble and do all the driving... blah blah she could give me gas money and I'll do all the work.
Does anyone else find that a bit wrong? I'm poor myself, my family can barely pay for gas.
She's the one that offered to hang out and stuff, then she's thinking my mom will pay for gas money.
Is she only asking because she's a new driver and she realizes how much gas is .. or what?

She's probably realizing how expensive gas is and looking to help herself out. She'll learn pretty quickly it don't work quite like that.
All you need to say is this "Well it would be awesome if you wanted to drive us, that's a really nice favor you'd be doing me, but my mom doesn't mind doing the work."
Try to make it gently clear to her that driving you around as a friend is a favor that friends do for one another, not something they get paid for. If she drives you to your grandmothers house 60 miles away, fine, pay for her gas, but if she wants to hang out, she can either drive or not drive. Either way, she aint gonna get paid.

As you said, she's a new driver and is starting to realize gas is expensive. My brother got his liscence a few monthes ago, and he's the same way. He makes the majority of his friends pay for gas money.
Personally, I find it a tad bit wrong. However, she probably won't drive you anywhere if you refuse to pay for gas. Therefore, if you really can't pay, just don't go, or have your mom drive you.

when someone first gets their own car they want to drive it a lot. but are worried about how much money it will cost if their paying. i say why dont you pay half and she pay half because she is new. tell her you dont have the money. or let her pay and buy her an ice cream or coffee at the mall. hope i helped

well if you dont have any money, then just tell her that some thing came up & you cant. or if your not shy to confront her tell her why did she suggest hanging out if you have to pay gas? tell her your mom dosent have money right now. what your friends doing is very wrong
