Need help inputting a transaction.

Here is my question: A friend of mine lent me $20. I created a new
account, under liabilities, called "Name_of_my_friend" and gave it a
positive value of $20, so I knew I owed him $20.
On the next weekend we were going to make a trip (using my car) to a
close city. We decided to split the costs of gas and he would have to
pay me $20, so he said: "You owe me $20, so my part is already paid".
Then I withdrew $20 from my checking account and paid for the gas. Now I
don't know how to input this transaction, because I want to:
Bring the "Name_of_my_friend" account to zero, since I paid him.
Add $20 to the "expenses:auto:gas" account.
Decrease my "checking account" account by $20, since I withdrew $20.
Is it possible to do that in a single transaction, if it is, how so?
Thanks for your help.
