I am an independent contractor who lives in CA but moved to NJ for one month to travel to and from a job site in PA . Can I deduct the cost of gas if I rent a car?

Yes, if this was a temporary job not expected to last for longer than one year. See IRS Publication 463 for other expenses you could be entitled to because of this temporary work location.
