I don't know about the US of A, in Austria it really is like that, although it's a rather half-assed attempt, raising the taxes on fuel happens almost every year, when there's some hole to shut in the budget, and last year in the name of GW. But as far as I know there isn't nearly as much taxation on fuel in the US of A, and the price of a barrel of crude oil is much more of an influencing factor on the prices at the pump. And I think the prices of crude oil aren't influenced by the GW crowd but rather speculants lately.

I always give you evidence or a base to shoot from.
If you need help on Americans, check the laws on drilling off our coasts, both in the Atlantic, and the Gulf, the ban on oil extractions from our tar sands, the ban on oil shale from Utah, the bans on drilling in Alaska, and the hurdles and general impossibility of opening coal to gasoline refineries due to possible GW!!! Crazy! We have 300 years of gasoline capability in this country, but we can't touch a single pint of it! All in the name of tree hugger alarmists. We have more gasoline capabilities withour own natural resources than dozens of Saudi Arabia's. Coal to gas alone could account for 250 years worth by itself.
Sorry to harp on it, but I'm not real happy about it as you can see.
