I hardly think the situation calls for insults, as its not at all clear. Yes, petroleum vehicles are taxed, but governments also lose large amounts of revenue on tax subsidies for the oil industry (in the case off federal), as well as hundreds of billions of dollars spent each year on highway and road maintenance (federal, state, and local), not to mention the costs of pollution.

If you can point to a study that measures the total cost spent on car-based transportation, including pollution, and compares that the amount collected in taxes I'd love to read it.
