Gas expense (normally actually part of travel) on any basis (calculated by mileage or receipt), is NOT nessesarilarly "claimable"...and isn't at all unless it is incurred as part of am otherwise deductible expense - (like medical or charity), or on the Schedule C where you are qualifying your unincorporated BUSINESS expenses.
It is claimed then as part of the applicable category of expense it is incurred for. The form instructions are fairly clear on handling or identifying it (virtually all PC programs ask for the information to calculate the amount under the different methods and use the best one for you)...and what support you'll need. Remember if you use the cents per mile basis, the amount changes regularly, even mid year.

If you're filing a paper return or an online return and filling it out on your own, you should find it clearly indicated.

not if you are going directly from your house to your job location. If you have to drive to a shop or office and then to a job location in your vehicle, then the mileage from the shop or office to your job location is deductible.
Federal business tax laws allow you to claim a deduction for mileage related to your business if your company does not provide direct reimbursement for the travel. For best results, save the receipts every time you get gas and include the number of gallons used on your tax return.
On your tax return, Yes.
