Sorry---no. W-2 employees cannot deduct mileage or any other job-related expenses on a federal return. There are a few states --already mentioned above-- that allow you to enter job-related expenses if you are a W-2 employee.
If you are a W-2 employee and your employer is requiring you to use your own car and pay for all the gas to do job-related driving, then it is time for a discussion with the employer.
