The new revised spew rate is 35,000-60,000 BARRELS per day.
That is 1,470,000 gallons up to 2,520,000 GALLONS per day.
This is as much as an "Exxon Valdez" every 4.5 days. (Now there is a horrible unit of measure: an "Exxon Valdez" = 11,000,000 gallons) This higher rate is ever since they cut the bent pipe off of the BOP.
