Current circumstances are different
At the present time, gasoline production is at maximum levels. This means that the market clearing price is the current price, including taxes. If the taxes are removed, producers can sell the same quantity of gasoline at the same price. Hence, prices should not fall significantly, unless producers reduce them for political reasons, i.e. to curry favor with the public and politicians.
