How does car-pooling works?

I've never done car-pooling before. But here is this situation in which I need to car-pool with a co-student in an executive program to visit a place 40 mins drive from our usual meeting place (this is in connection with our program of study). How should I go about it ... do we share gas cost, parking cost, ... ? This will be a one-time affair.

I may add here that I do not know this person outside the classes that we attend together, however here in US we are both from same country.

    Some students charge a flat fee, some split the cost 50/50. Work this out before you travel.

    It would be good to give the fellow student some money for gas and parking. You could also treat them to lunch and/or dinner and get to know each other and then you also get a friend out of the deal. Discuss it with them to see how they would like to work it out.

    i would simply offer him to pay for gas money and parking as well.

    but the way car-pooling normally works is that, if you are going to be doing it for a while, you take turns driving each other and dont have to pay each other for anything.
