I can’t count the number of times I and “thackney” have posted the gasoline costs & taxes in EVERY STATE on FR.

The information is available, but it isn't made easily available. Compare your gasoline receipt to one from, say, the phone company. The phone bill will gleefully itemize the 25-30% added taxes and fees on each monthly statement, while your gasoline receipt merely gives you the price, amount of gallons, and total cost, with no mention of taxes, fees, or other government-induced costs.

I wonder if they could easily reprogram the systems to show that... Might make for an interesting little bit of information on the receipt.
