The "How Much Do I Owe You?" Problem

It's an unfortunate scene we are all too familiar with.

 

You and your friends are on a road trip heading to a cottage. The grass is green, the birds are chirping, and your favourite song is blasting through the stereo. The day is perfect ... that is, until one of your friends asks the driver "hey, how much do I owe you for gas?" Suddenly, the music is turned off, the grass loses its vibrant green colour, and the birds have migrated south. And that nasty, all too-familiar "how much do I owe you" argument ensues.

As the passengers continue to squabble with the driver, you decide to take matters into your own hands by whipping out the calculator on your phone and crunching some numbers. You start trying to determine the number of kilometres travelled during your trip, and you start trying to remember how much you last paid for gas. However, you soon come to realize that this method is simply ineffective - you cannot possibly account for all of the factors you want to, such as the vehicle's fuel efficiency, the current market price of gas, the tolls your vehicle incurred throughout your trip, and the pickup and dropoff points for each specific passenger. With everyone in the car arguing about how much they believe is a fair amount to pay the driver, you start scratching your head, thinking to yourself, "if only there was a better way" ....

Who Can Use Split the Tank?

Split the Tank can be used by any individual or group of people in situations where the party would benefit from knowing the cost per occupant of the vehicle for a road trip. While this can be a very regular occurrence, the most common types of situations we see in which Split the Tank can benefit travellers includes:

  • Families from the same sports team carpooling to tournaments or games together.

  • Friends or family carpooling to a cottage, campsite, or tourist destination.

  • Independent business owners/contractors tracking work-related mileage for tax purposes.

  • Businesses interested in understanding their employees' travel expenses.

  • High school and university students that alternate driving each other and would like to track the costs of all of their trips over time.
