The importance of nonmarket valuation
A macroeconomist might value the damages at $18,000:

County emergency official Gordon Deno said the cleanup would take days. State water quality experts were called to the scene to determine if gasoline spread into a nearby creek.

Good day to you too, sir! :-(
Picking on the majority, eh?! :-)

Gabriel,
Yep, a cheap shot ... but it was one of those days. Forgive me.
