The guy who was organising the course divided up the transport costs based on a 2kr per km
From what I have read this seems to be the cause of the problem. I've never heard of colleagues reimbursing another colleague on per mile basis. If work weren't paying for the travel costs why did the organiser use this approach? Why not just ask each car to sort it out themselves eg dividing the petrol cost every time they filled up? If the drivers were then not happy to use their own cars they could have requested a few quid for tyre wear or hire cars could have been used.
Lesson learnt to confirm the cost of a trip before you go.

Well there appears to be no obvious difference between this and a trip with non-work colleagues - back in uni (over 20 years ago) we used to calculate club trip costs on a per mile basis, to allow for a bit more than fuel costs. Is actually simpler and fairer than divvying fuel costs and then trying to work out a nominal sum for tyre wear (that's in a situation where the drivers can only just afford to run a car, so need to have their costs covered properly - nowadays I just do fuel and absorb the other costs for goodwill, as it doesn't make a huge difference).
