Stickers blaming Joe Biden for the high price of gasoline have backfired in light of gas prices decreasing.

From late 2021, stickers featuring the president pointing alongside the words "I did that" started appearing at gas pumps across the country. In 2022, the sticker campaign became more well-known in light of rising gas prices, which reached around $4.59 per gallon in May 2022, more than double the price at the start of 2021.

Gas prices have fallen since the sticker campaign was at its peak. The national average gas price is now $3.122 per gallon, according to the American Automobile Association (AAA). By December 12, gas prices had fallen 19 percent since September, with 12 straight weeks of decline. There is, though, less demand for gas in winter than in the summer.

With that in mind, posting on X, formerly Twitter, people mocked Biden critics by posting an image of a gas pump that lists prices at $2.219 per gallon. It is unclear where the picture was taken or when, but AAA currently lists Mississippi as the state with the cheapest average gas, at $2.666 per gallon, slightly more than the price shown in the image.

Newsweek reached out to representatives of Biden via email for comment.
