To me it all comes down to several variables. I personally have driven 8 hours for a friend before, to deliver them something they needed (actually had to break into their house, and then drive to where he was). But a different variable might be your own financial situation. For a friend I would do anything for, that is what it means to be a friend. But if financially I just really could not afford to cover the gas, then I would not be up front and honest about that. Otherwise since we were friends I would thank them for the offer, but decline to be reimbursed.
