It's true that on day 1 of the Biden administration Biden stopped work on the Keystone pipeline and stopped most drilling on government land, and imposed stricter regulations on the rest.  If he hadn't done this, gas would be cheaper.  Besides, there is more harm done to the environment when oil comes from the middle east.  Ships have to burn more oil to bring it here.  Also pipelines are a more efficient way to move oil.  So Biden did have a role to play in the current price of gas.

Biden shut it down again.

> When Biden shut down domestic oil and pipelines to get oil from closer sources we lost all the control he had over the topic since we rely on foreign sources which might not really be so friendly to America otherwise.  I agree that it's not all Biden's fault... our house and senate made a mess of this country playing politics and I don't have a ton of faith in their leadership.  Only 2 years until it gets really ugly again.
