What are you using for "one atom"?
Using one square angstrom as the cross section of an atom (which is about right), and plugging
"187 million gallons / 1e-20 m^2 in light years"
into google, I get:
7.48237279 × 10^9 light years
which is at least an appreciable fraction of the universe, and ten thousand times the width of the galaxy.
