Somewhere between 90-180 million gallons of oil has been spilled into the Gulf of Mexico from the 2010 BP oil spill.
On June 19th, the official estimate is 35,000 to 60,000 barrels a day, though internal BP documents concede it could be as high as 100,000 barrels a day. (Between 1,500,000 to 2,500,000 gallons, as high as 3,000,000 gallons a day. 6 - 10 million liters, as high as 12 million liters a day).
The Alaska Prudhoe Bay disaster also caused by BP, spilled approximately 212,252 US gallons of crude oil onto the land, (6,000 barrels or 800,000 liters).
90-180 million gallons seems like a gratuitous amount of oil, but there are approximately 42 gallons in one barrel of oil. Globally, 85 million barrels are used per day. So at the worst... 180 million / 42 = 4,300,000 million barrelswere spilled, which doesn't even come close to what the world uses in one day. However, that's still very bad for the environment.
