Sometimes there is no nice way to tell people things that are dependent on others for favors,such as a ride like a taxi service.You owe it to her and yourself to come forward and tell her that you have to slow this way down,that you can't continue taking her around town due to you have a life as well and it isn't about gas,you just don't have the time or energy to continue this.You might mention to your friend that there are other ways of transportation,such as the city bus,or a real taxi service.It sounds like your friend is putting you in a spot and taking great advantage of your generosity,and that's not a true friend to make you feel like you are feeling.Good Luck to you!

Pull up with a sign on yr car that says taxi Service
and tell her the meter is running..... seriously with gas prices these days tell her she nds to chip in for gas or find another ride, or get bus pass.

Ask her, in a roundabout way, for gas money. Explain the situation to her so she'll understand that it's a strain on you to drive her everywhere. Just don't alienate her by making her feel unwanted, as that can have undesired effects on your friendship. Be direct, but tactful. Best of luck

Cactus gave you some great advice. But just tell her that you don't mind driving her, just not all the time...and if you guys can share teh driving that would be great.

just tell her outright. if she's open-minded, she'll understand. if she's narrow-minded, however gentle you tell her, she'll make a big deal out of it.
