A boat makes its way through crude oil on the water's surface on Wednesday, about a week after the Deepwater Horizon oil rig sank into the Gulf of Mexico. Even now authorities can only guess at the size of the spill, because the ongoing leak is deep underwater.

Shame we can't go and collect a few drums then distil it. ;)

They said something like it would fill up a million tanks of fuel in cars.  Don't know if I heard, read or dreamt that, though.

Sounds about right. I heard something to the effect that it would refuel a family car 20,000 times, but that was in the early days.
