[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gotta love when APs get on here and make a big fuss.

In our situation, we have three vehicles. One for me, one for DH, and one for AP's primary use. That said, AP drives the minivan so sometimes we switch around who is driving what in case we need the bigger vehicle for some reason.

Anyway, we gave AP one of our credit cards (which I know APIA says is a no-no but we didn't see any other way to make sure she always had money for various kid needs) and she uses that to pay for gas in the vehicle as needed. HOWEVER, she puts gas in the vehicle from her personal funds (her debit card tied to her personal bank account or cash) whenever she uses the car for a personal trip. For example, we cover the gas for her cluster meetings, school to/from, etc. But SHE pays for the gas when she drives to visit her BFF AP (who lives in Annapolis which is about 45 minutes). If there is any cloudiness about who pays, then by default we do. But if it is clearly her trip for just her, she pays. She's good about putting gas in to replace what she's used in real time; we don't track her miles or anything like that.

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]

Not the PP, but we also give CC to AP. For long trips over the weekend (after permission) the rule is simple: fill up the car using family CC right when you leave. Then return the car full... This works pretty much all the time ;)[/quote]
