Yes, I am a horrible stingy greedy person.

I don't mind paying. I just don't want to do the driving. If I do pay, I will pay in 1913 dollars and save a lot of money.

At the widely accepted cost of 55 cents per mile, the round trip by personal car will cost more than $100. And another $200 for my sister's portion of the trip. You might know where to rent a car for six dollars, I do not.
