Callback Expense Q

So I was recently on a DC Callback (I go to UVA) and the train was sold out so I rented a car to get there because my car is a POS. I am obviously going to expense the rental car, but is it standard practice to submit the gas receipt as well since you have to fill it up before you bring it back? I just don't want to rub anyone from the firm the wrong way. FWIW, I have an offer from the firm.

Congrats on your offer -- it's crazy to me that firms are extending offers in the middle of July. Anyway, absolutely expense the gas receipt. If you were an associate there, nobody would bat an eyelash about you submitting every expense that you incurred on behalf of the firm for reimbursement. You won't rub anyone the wrong way. FWIW, I am a DC biglaw associate.
