We met there, they paid their own fare. Once on the road it was splitsville for gas. Sometimes we bought lunch, sometimes they did (roadfood.) Dinner was always split - unless we wanted to go someplace more upscale, then it was our treat. They would pop for some booze or road trip surprise every once in a while. They are late 30's, we are early 60's, and we are both working. That makes a difference. We had some GREAT memories that we would have never gotten without these road trips. Our "stationary" trips have usually been to Disney World, they stay cheapest off site, we stay on site. Same deal on food as road trips. Sounds like Laura addressed it well upfront and hopefully there was some give-and-take during the vacation. We’ve done road trips with adult children that involved flying to get to starting point.
