In all fairness, he's not entirely off point.
The current prices are inflated for no reason despite the barrel price.
Biden should be getting on the Oil Company's asses to cut that shit out, but that would likely go against them donors.

If Biden hadn't killed all the pipelines that transport oil to be turned into natural gas, if Biden didn't make clear that there would be no new drilling in the US. If Biden didn't reject all new oil leases. Gas would not be 5 dollars a gallon by me.
Biden has made it clear he regards the fossil fuel industry as evil and will not support any investment in it. Sad to say without investment no new oil gets produced and since that makes demand outstrip supply the price goes up. Biden isn't responsible for the entire increase in gas prices, but he and the democratic party are responsible for a pretty good chunk of it.

Biden killed ONE pipeline. Keystone XL. I actually thank him for it. Canada has some of the largest proven oil reserves in the world, and yet we still pay over 8 dollars a gallon right now. If we were shipping all of that oil to Texas right now, we would be paying 14 dollars a gallon.

iirc it also wouldn't be finished for years and the company making it abandoned it.

He did not, the keystone XL bypass was terminated by scotus in 2020. It also would have transported tar sands from Canada to harbours and would have done nothing for the USA; except a few thousand temporary jobs.

Shouldn't you really be more focused on why the oil industry isn't sharing the time travel technology they were apparently going to use to allow theoretical projects that wouldn't have been online for years to ease gas prices now?
You're paying 5 dollars a gallon because you, like most most Americans, believe it's your patriotic duty to bend over and take it rawdog from the oil industry without complaint because otherwise tHe CoMmUniSts wIN!
Which is also why you support the party whose position is that it's the billionaire oil CEO's taking in record profits who are the real victims of all those entitled consumers whining all the time, and therefore need all the help and support the government can give them.

The large multinational oil companies (Shell, ExxonMobil, BP, Chevron etc.) have been in rough financial shape for a while and are using their profits to improve their balance sheets. They're not going to necessarily pour all of their capital into increasing production. This is probably the biggest reason US oil production isn't increasing as fast as it might be able to.
The other reason is that a lot of the smaller players went out of business when COVID caused energy prices to tank.

OPEC is still a little gun shy at the moment as well. Who the hell knows when another major pandemic is going to break out and the world shuts down again.
