Were you perhaps refering to some other place taxes are applied to motor vehicle fuel?
Utah adds 31.1¢ to a gallon of fuel (Link) and the Feds add 18.4¢ to gasoline and 24.4¢ to diesel (Link). That's a total of 49.5¢ added to the actual cost of gasoline and 55.5¢ added to the actual cost of diesel. You can argue the value to the country at those rates, but it isn't even close to being over a dollar.
