gas money

Payment for driving

Gas money is cash given to cover fuel costs, typically when someone drives you somewhere or gives you a ride.

It's both practical reimbursement and social courtesy—offering gas money acknowledges the favor: Can I give you some gas money for the trip?

The amount is usually approximate, not calculated precisely.

By extension, gas money can mean funds set aside for driving expenses generally: I'm low on gas money this week.
