It's the whining about self-inflicted pain at the pump and how we should do all these things (like drilling in ANWR or suspending the fuel tax) to further fuel our wasteful lifestyles that is getting old.

You first. You make your life just work and sleep and strip yourself of all the things that give you pleasure and I'll do the same later. IOW, kids, vacations, clothes, etc, etc. Just the bare minimums.
Now if I come see you, are you sure I cannot find anything I would classify as wasteful? Care to lead by example?
I don't think I am against the fuel tax per se. I am against what the taxes are used for. Now if I were taxed and that money goes to fixing the road or building new roads, I have no complains. If it goes for ANYTHING else but what it was for, I have a problem with it. As to ANWR, why should we keep holding onto it? It is something we can sell. We are running out of things to sell. Manufactured goods are going elsewhere to be produced. If we can sell oil, it is something we can use.
