4.9 Million Barrels

This is the hot-off-the-press official estimate of how much gooey, chocolaty, and now apparently vanishing oil has leaked into the Gulf this summer.

Remember when you're doing your calculations that 1 barrel = 42 gallons. We're working on a reliable coefficient for determining just how understated these official totals are but we won't have that data until all the plumes are accounted for.
