Should I give my boyfriend gas money if he asks for it?

Question

He makes more than me and I’m just a broke college student. I don’t want him to think I’m too stingy but I also care about him. I just don’t want it to become a habit to always ask me for it because I never ask him for money.

No - that is not a good sign.
The fact that you are a college girl without proper income is the number 1 reason he should not be asking you. This is very insensitive. If he has financial issues that even gas money becomes "too much", then he can suggest other ways to date you - take a bus or you go find him, etc. Asking partner for money during dating phase is a red flag.

Hmm. I'm on the fence on this one. Normally, I think people should contribute if someone is giving them a ride. But if he's rich anyway, it does change things slightly, especially if you're his girlfriend.
Maybe you can have a chat with him about it sometime, and express your point of view.

if you share using the gas then yes he may have no money and it's not cheap now!

He visits me once a week and we don’t live together. Sometimes I don’t mind. I just worry that he will always ask for it bc I could barely save up either.

Just tell him that. He is your boyfriend. You should be able to talk about that kind of stuff.
