Can my mother deduct fuel costs?

My mother is legally blind and on hospice. She lives alone, so my siblings and I take turns taking care of her at her home. We all live 3 or more hours from her. She pays our fuel costs. She owns her home so she itemizes. Can she deduct what she pays us for fuel?

Lisa - I've always been under the assumption that hospice requires someone to be there for all hours that hospice is not on-site. If this is right, how are you all doing this? Living alone, needing hospice with family hours away......seems like a problem waiting to become an emergency.
