I'd just tell him to make sure there's at least half a tank of fuel in the car you're getting and then leave it at that.

what goes around comes around, a good deed etc blah blah

Cost of the juice, cost of the train fare home (or mates juice there and back if getting a mate to drive behind you and take you home) plus I'd say at least another Ł1 per mile! So juice used (say Ł20 if you don't thrash it ) + Łwhatever for train back + Ł60 (60miles @ Ł1 per mile)

Was gonna say the same thing. It's only 60mile ffs. Hardly one end of the country to the other.

At a push I'd ask the guy to stick some fuel in the car I was picking up.

Tell him you'll fill your's up before you leave and whatever is in it when it gets there is his. In return you expect a full tank to be waiting for you in the car your picking up.

Seems like a fair deal

Just the cost of the fuel, seems fair to me.

Well no it's not really. It's 120miles, and probably 2-3hrs of a day, plus whatever fuel a mate uses if you have one following you there to bring you back - if you do then it's actually 180miles of fuel + time, or if you are getting a train back it's 60miles of fuel + return cost + time. Seems fair to me

if you deliver it to him and ask him to top up the fuel tank on the car you are picking up (can't be more than Ł60 really can it?) and you'll top up the tank and whatever is left when it gets to his is hiw then you've not lost out and you've done the good deed etc

just don't spank it round a tree on the way during your last long drive in it
