I always wait to tell after a class or two before I buy books unless the syllabus specifically states I need the stuff for the first class.

Good advice. I hate buying a book and then going to the class and finding out we won't use it.

What's the rule for putting gas in a car that your friend let's you borrow. Whenever I borrow a car from my friend I always fill the tank up after I use it as a thank you, but this one person I know says that he only fills what he used, so which is it?

I think both are okay, but I prefer to use the first.

Depends. How long did you have the car? Was it an inconvience for him? How much gas was left in the tank to begin with? Are you buying lunch or any other random compensation?

Say I borrow my friends truck. If I borrow it for an hour to move my couch, I would put about $10 in. If I borrow it for 2-4 hours, I fill the tank. If it was full when I got it, I offer lunch. I feel like if you have it for under 2 hours, and you dont cause any inconvience (like having to drive him to work in order to borrow the truck), then you dont have to fill it up past what you used.

Honestly, I usually fill the tank as well, but there are many times where I might not.

It was for a few hours to help move my stuff, he was asleep when I was moving, he let me borrow it the night before.

In that case, I'd say fill it back to where you got it (maybe a little more). If it had been for a few days or been more of an inconvenience to him I would have filled it though.

I just filled it up to the top, and said thanks bro. I know he would do the same.

IMO you did it the right way.

Yup, it's a nice little gesture to say thanks. He is letting you use his car, after all.

God, David Cross is spot-on with this letter about break-ups. Ha, I know someone out there will appreciate hearing this:

My wife had a 2nd interview yesterday and she just got a call back and she got the job! She starts today, I'm very excited for her. It sucks when she didn't have a job because she was bored all day when I was at work and now financially it will be better. We will definently be celebrating tonight.
