Question

what outcome did the oil embargo have on americans? no change in the demand for gasoline; had little impact to americans a low demand for gasoline, resulting in very calm behavior due to unlimited supply a high demand for gasoline, resulting in frenzied behavior due to limited supply

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The oil embargo led to a situation where the supply of gasoline was limited. According to the basic principles of supply - demand relationships, when supply is limited and demand remains relatively stable (in the short - term, people still needed gasoline for daily activities like commuting, etc.), the demand for gasoline would seem high relative to the available supply. This scarcity often causes people to engage in frenzied behavior (such as long queues at gas stations, hoarding if possible) as they compete for the limited resource.

Answer:

a high demand for gasoline, resulting in frenzied behavior due to limited supply
