Friends with cars: when you give rides is it more annoying to be thanked too much or too little? Are you offended when people try to give you gas money?

I appreciate it if they thank me once or twice, anything more than that is unnecessary lol. And offering some gas money is also really kind. I’ll turn it down unless we’re gonna be driving for at least an hour, but I’m grateful for the gesture

If I don’t know you well I really prefer when people offer gas money. I don’t take it unless it’s a pretty long drive, but the offer means a lot to me. Thanking is like… idk man it doesn’t really stick in my head at all, as long as we’re friendly I don’t care either way On the gas money, too: I definitely expect it to be offered if they asked for a ride, but if I offered I don’t expect anything

Like how often? And how far? If I’m going out of my way to give someone a ride, I’d like some gas money. If we’re going to shared plans and they live close (up to a 20 min drive), a thanks is good. I wouldn’t be offended to get gas money.
