He occasionally buys me dinner occasionally and lets me carpool with him a lot. I want to return the favor in a nice, inexpensive way. He knows I'm on a tight budget. I was thinking writing down a list of 10-15 things of why I appreciate our friendship. Would a guy like something like that? What are your thoughts?
No, I wouldn't write my feelings as a way of saying thanks for paying my way.
Buying you meals and carpooling means you are eating for free and getting rides for free.
Do you ever pitch in for gas? A nice thank you would be a gas gift card.
This writing down may be good for you. Everyone is on a budget of some sort. What are things you can do for him that may not break the bank? Detail his car, pack a brown bag lunch for two, get an unexpensive bottle of wine (WallMart 2.97 is actually not bad) and make a pasta dinner, ...

Hmmm. Unless you are into him I'd stop the dinner routine pronto.
Are you married or in a relationship? If so stop the dinner routine and carpooling double pronto cause trouble lies ahead.
So, to thank him (if you do not have any romantic intentions) you should introduce him to one of your single friends who is better looking than you.
He will thank you, your better looking friend will thank you and if you suffer any pangs of jealousy you will know that you just avoided a crash into the rocks of romance.
