What caused the average cost of a gallon of gas to spike from 39 cents to 53 cents in 1974?

During the 1973 Arab-Israeli War, Arab members of OPEC imposed an OIL EMBARGO against the U.S. in retaliation for the U.S. decision to re-supply the Israeli military and to gain leverage in the post-war peace negotiations. This created an OIL SHORTAGE with long lines and panic buying at gas stations.
