If you live in the US, then yes.
The United States federal excise tax on gasoline is 18.4 cents per gallon and 24.4 cents per gallon for diesel fuel. On average, as of January 2015, state and local taxes add 30.1 cents to gasoline and 30.1 cents to diesel, for a total US average fuel tax of 48.5 cents per gallon for gas and 54.5 cents per gallon for diesel.

The answer above is wrong (and probably a cut and paste from an online encyclopedia, as I edited out footnote reference numbers and the original answer did not include any footnotes).
The US Federal excise on Gasoline as a motor fuel for use in vehicles driven on public highways is NOT a sales tax. The money collected by a sales tax goes into the General Fund and can be used for any purpose, the money collected by this excise tax goes into a special Federal Highway fund and by law can only be used for highway construction or highway maintenance purposes. Also this excise tax is not charged on all gasoline sold to consumers as a sales tax would be: consumers that buy gasoline for nonmotor vehicle uses (e.g. Coleman lanterns and camp stoves) or for use in motor vehicles that do not use public highways (e.g. farm machinery), the gasoline they buy is exempt from this excise tax. Some people do not know that gasoline lawn mowers also qualify for the purchase of gasoline without the payment of this excise tax, and just buy the same gas as they do for their cars.
The only time there is a sales tax on gasoline purchases is when the gasoline is purchased within the jurisdiction of a state, county, or municipality that charges sales tax, and this sales tax is identical to the sales tax on all other purchases made in that jurisdiction.
Here in Montana there is no sales tax and never has been a sales tax, so consumers pay no sales tax on gasoline.
