That's irrelevent IMO. Your mortgage payment is the same, too, but I suspect, as a roommate, he is paying something to live with you.

Last week, we went to Atlantic City for the day. We invited a friend to join us. She voluntarily gave us money toward gas and tolls. Had she not come, we would have had to pay the same gas and tolls anyway, but she felt she wanted to chip in to show her appreciation for us taking her along. By the same token, he should be doing something to show his appreciation and compensate you for allowing him to use your car.
