I’d pay the 0.50 euro as soon a possible without a word.
Then never offer to drive to do anything with them again.
I’ve found that people who do this are either doing it as a joke and will let you know right away … or they are dead serious and it’s the kind of person you really want to avoid in every kind of way.
Eh. Yeah, but at least you know where you stand with them, and everything will be strictly business. If there’s some business-like value to keeping the relationship, then just treat it like a business relationship, and see how it goes. I wouldn’t bail on someone like this for that alone, but I wouldn’t hang out with them as friends either.
If they can have a sense of humor about it, probably a decent, if cheeky, somewhat assholish, but maybe in an endearing / self-aware way, kind of person.
If they cannot?

They’re an entitled manipulator, and have absolutely no respect for you.

I would have paid it and then charged him $1.50/km for the ride
