Yes, you can deduct your unreimbursed travel expenses if your duties required your to be away and you needed to sleep or rest to meet the demands of your work while away from home.

You can deduct actual (gas, oil) expenses and depreciate your car or you can use standard mileage rate of 54 cents per mile. 

Note: The deductions are considered your Job-related expenses and are part of your itemized deductions.  Only amount over 2% of your Adjusted Gross Income is deducted and - if your don't itemize (have mortgage interest, real estate estate tax, charitable donations, etc.) - your deductions will not make a difference on your tax return.
