No, because the fuel surcharge is designed as an average across the fleet -it is not aircraft specific. This is the same way as the offline service fee is designed to cover the cost of providing offline support -it isn't specifically calculated for what they happen to do for you on your individual transaction.

Of course, in reality, it's just another way of raising revenue.
