ExxonMobil operates over 11,000 retail fuel stations in the U.S. under the Exxon and Mobil brands, as well as wholesale fuel distribution for fleets, industrial operations, and aviation. For businesses, the most common expense is vehicle fuel purchased at the pump on a per-transaction basis. Fuel costs for business vehicle use are fully deductible, but only the business-use portion qualifies — personal commuting miles do not. Businesses using fleet cards or the Exxon Mobil Business Card benefit from centralized reporting that simplifies mileage and expense tracking.

Documentation tips

-   Fuel purchased for business vehicle travel is fully deductible — maintain a mileage log (date, destination, business purpose, miles) to substantiate the business-use percentage.
-   If you use the standard mileage rate (67¢/mile for 2024), do NOT also deduct actual fuel costs — choose one method and apply it consistently.
-   For fleet vehicles used exclusively for business, 100% of Exxon/Mobil fuel charges are deductible; mixed-use vehicles require pro-rating based on business vs. personal miles.
-   Use an ExxonMobil fleet card or business credit card for fuel purchases to generate itemized statements that simplify IRS substantiation.
-   Lubricants, oil changes, and vehicle maintenance purchased at Exxon/Mobil stations are also deductible as vehicle operating expenses when tied to a business-use vehicle.
