    My honest opinion: If you feel this strongly about what may amount to £50-£100 / annum then I'd be asking big questions about your thoughts on the longevity of the relationship.

    In terms of contributing to the costs, you own the car, and control its use, therefore I can't see how you can ask for more than half the petrol.

    It's the half petrol he's not paying that bothers me; I don't expect maintenance/insurance. And it amounts to around £600 a year when I all add it up

    I guess though it's the being treated like his personal taxi driver which annoys me more than the cost; such as being called to the cricket club a half hour drive away each week because he doesn't want to get the bus etc so I guess that is the issue to deal with

    This would super annoy me. I think you need to have a word about being treated like a taxi, or put your foot down and say no. Just out of interest, Why doesn't he drive?
