Flores · Answer 1

The oil embargo forced the U. S. to take measures, indeed.

The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) imposed an embargo on oil shipments to industrial nations, such as the U. S., between and 1973 and 1974. Gasoline prices skyrocketed within months, and its supplies plummeted. Consequently, Congress banned the sale of gasoline on Sundays, and some states were forced to ration gasoline.
