If all the oil from the Deepwater Horizon spill in the Gulf of Mexico had been used for fuel, it could have powered 38,000 cars, 3,400 trucks and 1,800 ships for a full year, says a new report.

It is based on an estimated spill rate of 19,000 barrels of oil per day, according to James J. Corbett, professor of marine policy at the University of Delaware (UD) College of Earth, Ocean and Environment.
