the website Information is Beautiful calculated the volcano has emitted about 15,000 tonnes of CO2 each day.
15,000 x 6 days = 90,000 tonnes
90,000,000,000 grammes

2000 km travelled, so 90,000,000,000g / 2000km = 45,000,000 g/km

Well, that puts my cars 219g/km into perspective and I've not used it for a few days!
