Asking for petrol

I am driving a 'friend' (although not a proper friend, more someone I am in the same career with and we know of each other), but we message regularly,
We have a course on the same day next month and it's a 2 hour drive away. Around 105 miles.

I am driving as she feels too nervous to drive and i've said that's fine because it'll be cheaper for us both anyway as we can just half petrol.

However, how do people actually ask for petrol on the day? As many of my actual friends "forget" to give me petrol and I don't have the balls to ask.
Whereas this is quite a bit of a journey so I dont fancy paying all the petrol and money is tight atm.

Also, how much petrol would you ask for for a journey that is 2 hours and around 105 miles away? I dont want to ask for too much or too little

Fill up when you start the journey and casually mention how much, and you can sort it out after. Comment that it will be cheaper than you both buying two train tickets and taxis
