The truth is we don't know.
We don't know how many gallons will be 'spilled' before the flow of oil is stopped.
We don't know what the extent of the oil spill will be.
We do know that all efforts to stop the flow of oil have been unsuccessful so far. Once that happens we can compare and contrast similar oil spills.
Have YOU ever worked on a spill clean up that exceeded 1800 sq miles?
Seems that would take a very long time, and would be very difficult to control its spread.
