[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] OP here-- Sorry to get so specific, but does that means she gases it up each time she uses it for personal use?  And assuming she doesn't always start with a full tank, how much does she put in?  TIA![/quote]

It's not an exact science, I suppose. Usually when she takes the car and returns it, she makes sure it has the same level of gas give or take. So if she uses a quarter tank, she puts in a quarter tank. She does stop at a gas station right by our house pretty frequently. I'm sure sometimes she puts in a little more than she used and other times less. It all seems to wash in the end. Some days she uses the car and returns without putting gas in, and then she will say "Oh I will put gas in the car the next time, I used about 100 miles' worth." She just seems to be aware, which we appreciate, that if she is driving back and forth to Annapolis a lot (which is where she typically goes), then she needs to keep an eye on her gas use and replacement.

We never fuss about this. It all is very low key and it seems to work.

And seriously, it is exhausting defending ourselves against people who are so nasty and rude. We have done everything possible to give our au pair a great year in the US with travel, tons of time off, lots of classic American experiences, etc., etc., and some people (on here) just refuse to believe that we possibly could be treating our au pair like a family member. I am tired of it. [/quote]
