I agree. Gas taxes are an easy but short-sighted revenue mechanism. If they were part of a broad pigovian system it’d be different, but as they stand they just serve to raise costs for ordinary citizens— and as those who have to commute the farthest are in the lowest-paying jobs, it is, as you say, regressive.
