You say that I am playing stupid word games.
In fact have you read the following part?


FAR Part 61.113
(c) A private pilot may not pay less than the pro rata share of the
operating expenses of a flight with passengers, provided the expenses
involve only fuel, oil, airport expenditures, or rental fees.

And whats written there?

...may not pay less than the pro rata share of the operating expenses...
e.g A one hour flight with 3 passengers costs 80$ rental fees.
so you have to pay a minimum of 20$. Thats the minimum!!!
Nothing is written about the maximum what a passenger has to pay!
For this case is paragraph (a)! Please read it!

This refers to the minimum the PILOT must pay, not the passenger.
