Yep, Joe (and Rob Klein) did that.

For the past several months, a White House-led team of economic specialists has marked each day in the same way: With a painstaking, state-by-state examination of gasoline prices and the intricate market forces pushing them relentlessly upward.
Senior officials and others close to President Joe Biden view those prices as the cost that most directly affects voters’ everyday lives, and therefore their perception of the economy as well. As such, Biden and his top advisers fixate on them with an intensity that some aides describe as obsessive. White House chief of staff Ron Klain has grown particularly absorbed by the issue, checking the average price of a gallon of gas every morning. He’s lamented that it’s the one item everyone knows the cost of because gas station billboards are so ubiquitous throughout the country.
“Could they advertise anything else?” Klain rhetorically, and ruefully, asked one recent visitor.
The White House’s focus on gas prices is bred from two sobering political conclusions top officials have made. The first is that they have little control over the problem. The second is that as prices rise at the pump, so do Democrats’ odds of a midterm wipeout - especially as the average U.S. gallon of gas hits fresh record highs.
“There really isn’t one silver bullet,” said one person familiar with the discussions. “It’s a really difficult issue to message around when you can’t deny the reality.”
In a frantic effort to try to slow gas prices that have risen by a dollar per gallon in just the last three months, Biden aides have internally debated a host of ideas. Led by the National Economic Council, the cross-government team filled with aides from Cabinet agencies like the Department of Energy, State Department and Treasury has weighed endorsing a federal gas tax holiday...

It’s about the only hope we have at this time

How friggin stupid and clueless can these people possibly be? There is no secret. It is no mystery. These A-holes killed our energy industry. It is not some unfathomable economic mystery.
By the way, our oil and gas are natural resources that are the inheritance of all American citizens. One blessing of being American is our abundant resources. The communists are trying to take that blessing away.

Same in San Diego...beaches that are usually packed were half as busy.
...and bribed off Congress....
I see a lot of F-—k you Joe written on the pumps now in marker.
I bought some and hand them out to people who are more than happy to have some.
That is why people are finding more permanent means to keep the message on the pumps.
The next thing that Biden will do will be to try to reduce the speed limit to 55 mph and encourage (mandate) urbanization. Just like Carter.

Notice their thinking, that the solution is some government action.

I have already reordered a new supply of stickers. Placing one before I leave the pump leaves me with some satisfaction.
Yep. Local Safeway. One can of Progresso soup: $4.29 (buyers club price). Message around THAT, you pieces of shit.
“The first is that they have little control over the problem.” Absolute BS. They shut down the pipelines on day one of this administration and disincentivized exploration to convert to solar and wind (anything but something that they cannot control, like oil and gas, coal, nuclear). When biden says “transition”, he means to zero carbon. You buttercups are just going to have to suck up $10 gasoline.
Democrats a midterm wipeout.
