okay, so at my college, freshmen and sophomores weren't allowed to own cars, so they were frequently borrowing cars from the upper 2 classes... This issue is constantly present, and personally (having loaned my car many times, and borrowed many others' cars prior to getting my own) I TOTALLY agree with you.
It's a matter of courtesy. If I borrowed somebody's car, I always replaced what was used at the very least, but normally would fill it up. Particularly if I wanted to be able to borrow that person's car again, I'd make a point to always fill it up--they're more willing to loan it to you if they make out alright by it.
Same way when I loaned my car out. First, it was only to the select few I trusted with it. The one time that someone used it and didn't even bother to replace the gas they used, I made it a point not to loan it to them again. Sorry, that's just how it works.
