PVM's Stephen Brennock said:"The latest in a long line of attempts to temper surging prices at the pumps is having the desired effect.The bosses of seven oil companies will meet White House officials this week to talk about increasing production capacity and reducing fuel prices.
Mr Biden responded by saying:"He's mildly sensitive - I didn't know they'd get their feelings hurt that quickly."
