Question for you guys who drive a long way to hunt out west: When multiple people are taking one person's vehicle out west, how do you split up fuel costs. Do you split it up equally in some fashion, or does the guys who's putting a couple thousand miles of wear and tear on his truck and tires not pay for fuel or a small fraction of the fuel while the other guys pick up the rest of the tab?
For me specifically, it'll be Ohio to northwest Colorado. I'll likely be driving my truck and I'll have 3 other guys with me (2 if my buddy in the Navy gets deployed). Last year, it was only me and another guy, and my truck was pretty much brand new so I didn't even think about the wear, so we split fuel evenly. But now it seems I'm going to be making a trip out west probably every year, and it seems fair that the guy who drives should be cut some slack in the fuel bill. What do you all do? What's customary?
