The $3.97 is the average for highway grade price, so it would include the tax.

If I read Chapter 1 Fuel Taxes Page 7 of the following correctly, that tax applies to trains as well.

Publication 510, Excise Taxes

That only address the federal 24.4¢/gal tax. The state rules may differ for their fuel excise tax.
