I don't think you're imaging it; it seems a few cursory items like that are much higher.
I believe this is an example of sticky pricing -- I noticed a number of items went up in cost when fuel costs doubled back when. When fuel finally came back down and stabilized, the cost of these items maybe went down fractionally, but nothing near what they were pre-fuel crunch.
