I want to add mileage expense for a job but it won't let me without upgrading turbo tax. There is only one expense for this job and the cost of upgrading is not worth it

The mileage is not much since it is only for part of Oct and all of Nov and Dec.

Mileage for a W-2 job is an itemized deduction  and that does require an upgrade.  You can't take itemized deductions unless they exceed, in total, your standard deduction, which would be $6300 for a single person and $12,699 for married joint filers.  If you have less than that in itemized deductions you are correct, it is not worth upgrading.
