I suspect this is part of the campaign from oil companies when gas prices really started to go up. My perception of time is bad, but those stickers on pumps with "look how much of all of this is taxes" started showing up in the aughts or something like that? And I believe there were radio campaigns around that time as well. It's the sort of shorthand comment that compounds into perceived reality very quickly.
