To ask if this is normal?

Name changed for this as could be outing.

I was chatting to my best friend last night, and she highlighted something she didn't think was normal in a marriage, and I'm curious to see what others think!

For context, I have a car that's fairly old and done lots of miles, my husband has a company car - of which I'm not insured to drive.

We have been doing our house up for the last couple of years and are finally at a stage where we can do our bedroom. I suggested we go to ikea to have a look at some storage options. Long story short we decided to go in his car as it's a 3 hour round trip and would rather put the mileage on his rather than mine. We had a nice morning out with DC and chose some pax wardrobes.

This morning DH said he'd put £50 petrol in his car so if I'd like to transfer him some money for it I'm welcome to.

It's also not the first time this has happened, before I drove he used to ask me to pay towards petrol if he took me anywhere (very occasionally).

Is this normal? We usually pay for our petrol from our personal accounts, and never charge him if I'm driving anywhere...

That's absolutely mental.
