This paper establishes and tests procedures which can determine the electron energy gap of the high-temperature superconductors using the $t\!-\!J$ model with spinon and holon quasiparticles obeying fractional statistics. A simpler problem with similar physics, the spin susceptibility spectrum of the spin 1/2 fractional-statistics gas, is studied. Interactions with the density oscillations of the system substantially decrease the spin gap to a value of $(0.2 \pm 0.2)$ $\hbar \omega_c$, much less than the mean-field value of $\hbar\omega_c$. The lower few Landau levels remain visible, though broadened and shifted, in the spin susceptibility. As a check of the methods, the single-particle Green's function of the non-interacting Bose gas viewed in the fermionic representation, as computed by the same approximation scheme, agrees well with the exact results. The same mechanism would reduce the gap of the $t\!-\!J$ model without eliminating it.
