The most memorable oil crisis in our lifetime was in 1973 when the Arab members of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) stopped shipping oil to the United States and many of the other countries of the world that were believed to be supportive of Israel in the Yom Kippur War. That oil embargo, as it was called at the time, resulted in an acute shortage that produced long lines at gas pumps, gas rationing and exponentially higher gas prices.  Of course, even here in Antigua, we felt the squeeze, and the resulting economic hardship was one of the factors in a steady erosion of support for the still-young Progressive Labour Movement (PLM) administration.  Since that rather world-changing oil crisis, governments all over the world have kept a keen eye on gas prices and oil supply and demand. After all, governments (sometimes unfairly) always seem to bear the brunt of the blame whenever gas prices go up, and many governments have fallen due to unrest and political agitation over high fuel prices.
