Is is gas deductible for self-employed a valid tax write-off?

Self-employed individuals can deduct gas expenses if they are incurred for business purposes, such as driving to meet clients, making deliveries, or traveling between business locations. Personal use of a vehicle, commuting from home to a regular place of business, and other non-business-related travel are not deductible. The deduction can be taken using the actual expense method, where you track all vehicle-related expenses, or the standard mileage rate method, which includes gas as part of the rate.
