How did the shortage of oil from OPEC nations affect the United States?
Due to the rise prices in oil, it affected the U.S.
economy. People during this adopted
measures to save on oil. An example of
this was the manufacturing fuel-efficient cars and to lessen the use of
automobiles to save gas. Though it was
difficult at first, the U.S. was able to weather out the gas price increases
and recovered from the oil crises.
