Is can you write off gas on your taxes a valid tax write-off?

Gas expenses are deductible when they are incurred as part of operating a vehicle for business purposes. This includes using your car to travel to client meetings, job sites, or other business-related destinations. Personal use of a vehicle, such as commuting to and from your regular place of work, is not deductible. Taxpayers can choose between deducting actual expenses, which include gas, or using the standard mileage rate, which accounts for gas and other vehicle-related costs.
