How much of a market surplus would exist if the government set a price floor of $5 per gallon?

If milk were set at $5 per gallon, market surplus would likely increase since this is higher than the current average price. If oil were set at $5 per gallon, market surplus would decrease dramatically. The laws of supply and demand suggest that an 80% discount will increase demand.
