In response to the embargo, the US government imposed fuel rationing and lowered speed limits to reduce consumption Nixon seriously considered military action to seize oil fields in Saudi Arabia, khuwait and Abu Dhabi as a last resort.

Hope these helps you.

In April, the Nixon administration announced a new energy strategy to boost domestic production to reduce U.S. vulnerability to oil imports and ease the strain of nationwide fuel shortages. In response to the embargo, the U.S. government imposed fuel rationing and lowered speed limits to reduce consumption. Nixon seriously considered military action to seize oil fields in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Abu Dhabi as a last resort.
