We have a friend who sort of mooches...he always wants to go places on trips, but never offers to drive his own vehicle. Just last week he asked if we wanted to go to Chicago on Sunday...fully expecting us to say yes and drive. He has helped with gas so he's not a total mooch, but we are tired of the wear and tear on our vehicles and the places he wants to go are basically where he wants to go. Once he gives a little cash for gas, he feels he's in charge. We just don't go with him anymore. It's not a money thing on his party -- he lives it up. I think he doesn't want to use his vehicle because of the mileage or whatever...his vehicles are the same age as ours.
