Not to hear them complain. As shocking as it may seem, the US gov't doesn't give allowances to its employees commuting to and from home to work.
Same goes for other commuters. But if your job requires that you drive your own vehicle, you can get a sizeable deduction on your income tax return of around half a buck for every mile driven. As a builder with jobs all over the region, I log between 20 and 24K miles a year.
