WILL in the IF clause

Whats the difference?

1 If you will get in the car, we'll leave now.
2 If you get in the car, we'll leave now.

Do you leave YOU? and is this OK?

1 How long does 40 dollars worth of gas last YOU? (is this ok?, if not how would you say it please?)

THank you

1 If you will get in the car, we'll leave now. ~ If you will be so kind as to get in the car, we can leave now. Depending on the tone of voice, this could be a very polite way of asking someone to please get in the car or a very impatient way of telling someone to hurry up and get in the car so we can leave.

alc24can you say it the way I phrased it
Say it the way you phrased it and it means (approximately) what I used as a paraphrase. So don't add "be so kind". It already has a meaning something like that without adding those words.
