They weren't "sunk", they were simply shut down and evacuated. Takes time to
start them back up.

300 miles @ 20 mpg= 15 gal
300 miles @ 25 mpg= 12 gal.

15 gal @ 1.819=$27.30
12 gal @ 2.079=$24.98

That's based on 2 days of me commuting to work and back. For $1.16
per day, I'd rather not mess with diesel, thank you. I'll just switch
from fru-fru coffee to plain ol' hot-n-black.

At least one was, several were torn from their moorings and were presumed sunk
till they were spotted floating in the gulf. What remains to be seen is the damage
at the ocean floor. That's a lot of deep cleanup and removal of twisted pipe before
the rigs can be operational again.
