At first, the spill was reported in barrels/day (the most common way to report sizable quantities of oil). Then, the reporting switched to gallons/day -- probably, because that makes the disaster seem 42 times worse. It's going up, and up, no matter how it's measured.

This is the question I just asked before seeing your post. Can anyone tell me how many gallons are in a barrel?
