Somewhere between 90-180 million gallons of oil has been spilled into the Gulf of Mexico from the 2010 BP oil spill.
On June 19th, the official estimate is 35,000 to 60,000 barrels a day, though internal BP documents concede it could be as high as 100,000 barrels a day. (Between 1,500,000 to 2,500,000 gallons, as high as 3,000,000 gallons a day. 6 - 10 million liters, as high as 12 million liters a day).
The Alaska Prudhoe Bay disaster also caused by BP, spilled approximately 212,252 US gallons of crude oil onto the land, (6,000 barrels or 800,000 liters).
90-180 million gallons seems like a gratuitous amount of oil, but there are approximately 42 gallons in one barrel of oil. Globally, 85 million barrels are used per day. So at the worst... 180 million / 42 = 4,300,000 million barrelswere spilled, which doesn't even come close to what the world uses in one day. However, that's still very bad for the environment.
The Exxon Valdez spilled 260,000 to 750,000 barrels (41,000 to 119,000 m3) of oil.
Over 42,000 gallons of oil per day are being spilled.
270-285 according to gov. and Columbia univ.
This depends on which oil spill is being discussed. See related questions.
Probably the amount that is spilled into the water....just guessing though.
Methane oil

This is hard to answer: Oil is spilled in many ways, and new oil spills occur every day.Current Oil Spills:For the BP Gulf oil spill, please see related questions.
The Exxon Valdez.
It has spilled 42,000,000 before the 'top kill' experiment and even after it leaks out 12,000 a day.
