Is this legal? Employer makes me pay for company car

I work at a pizza place. We are provided a company car that everyone drives (one car, stays at the shop aside from when we’re out of delivery). At the end of a delivery shift, you are expected to fill the car back up to what it was at prior to deliveries. We are expected to pay this out of pocket.

Also I asked my employer if I could keep receipts and use the $ I spend on gas as a business expense and a tax write off and was told I can’t. I live and work in Wisconsin if that helps with the legal side of things but regardless this place sucks and I’m looking for a new job. Just curious if there’s anything I can do on my way out.
