Why? Us peons can't benefit him in any way at this point. He's done with the masses. I would expect him to do whatever benefits him the most, and that would likely be what the oil companies would bribe him to do.

Because he doesn't want the Republicans to lose the House. Partially because he doesn't want to lose that second half reconciliation package, which will be his only chance to get some of his economic policy through Congress. And also because the House has oversight authority. And even though he's done with the masses, the rest of the GOP is not - and if the House starts digging into all this stuff, it will get very difficult for him to keep them completely at arm's length. Especially as he enters the lame duck segment of his Administration.

But also because he's vain, and he wants to be able to brag that he's better than any other President. So he doesn't want gas prices to be notably high.
