"The price of oil has gone up a lot in those few years and represents the lions share of the reason you pay more for gasoline. That point is quite valid." True. And totally irrelevant to the discussion at hand. Saying the Sun rose this morning is also true, but totally irrelevant to the claim that taxes account for 45% or the price of gasoline at the pump. 45% is more than a gallon of gas was a few years ago, and absent any tax increases on such, the difference in price between then and now is going to be precisely the reason you gave.
