The fact that Obama/Biden worked with Republicans to lift the ban on crude oil exports in 2015 is a major factor in the rise of gasoline and diesel prices, along with the closure of several major domestic refineries since then.
Additionally, there's the push to expand LNG exports to Europe.
Both of these are major factors in the price rise. I personally don't really care about this as I don't own a car, and this will push new buyers towards EVs, but the media silence on this is kind of instructive - corporate media is owned by the same investors profiting off the high energy prices, so there's no incentive for honest reporting, not if you want to keep your media job anyway.
