Commuting to work or school has never been deductible. As for your car, if you had a whole bunch of other "big ticket" itemized deductions like mortgage interest and property taxes, you might be able to use the sales tax paid on the car on your federal return. But you say you are a student, so that seems unlikely. If you are single, you have a standard deduction of $12,000 that is "tax free."
