Can freelancers deduct is gas a business expense?

Freelancers can deduct gas expenses if they use their vehicle for business purposes, such as traveling to meet clients or purchasing supplies. However, only the portion of gas used for business activities is deductible. Personal use of the vehicle must be excluded from the deduction. Freelancers can choose between the actual expense method, which includes gas, or the standard mileage rate, which incorporates gas and other vehicle expenses.
