Gas prices are high due to market forces, not taxes. Even you must know that. And tax on gas and diesel generally goes towards the upkeep and construction of roads and bridges. Since you're buying a lot of gas/diesel, I'm pretty sure you're using these roads. If you're not, you can get the taxes back at the end of the year. My dad does this.
