Yes, gasoline is taxed at the retail level (though not particularly heavily in the US).
However oil & gas production receives significant subsidies in many (most?) countries around the world, including the US.
In addition, oil used for things like aviation fuel, heating, power generation, and maritime fuels used for shipping, are typically completely tax-free.
