What happened to all the oil?

Well, for one thing, for every gallon of oil that was spilled, there are 3.47 BILLION gallons of water in the Gulf. That’s using an upper estimate of 184 billions having been spilled and a volume of water in the Gulf of 643 quadrillion gallons, available here: http://www.epa.gov/gmpo/about/facts.html
