You make a good point though... but then I'd counter, why is someone going on a road trip if $15 is a big deal to them? Perhaps better to skip the trip and save money rather than nickel and dimeing their friends, no?

When i was a student my friends would beg me pretty much every weekend to go up to Edmonton to party at Uof A.. Of course with my heavy workload and the fact i had to pay for my own school i was pretty broke most of the time..
The times i did go i had barely any money, but my friends were warned prior of this. If they had a problem with me not being able to buy beer or gas then i wouldn't go.. Simple as that....
but my real friends who wanted me to go just for the experience of a road trip with them, didn't mind footing the bill just as long as I could be the wingman at parties.. (I was always the best at that)
Sometimes your true friends look the other way when it comes to money.. Other times you lose friends quickly because of it..
