Sorry, but the math thing is making me crazy. Say there's 100 gallons coming out. Making the cut increases that to 120 gallons. 20% of 120 is 24, so they're capturing 24 gallons, leaving 96 to spew. So, there's four less gallons coming out.

I know I know I know, 96 vs. 100 doesn't mean diddly squat, but the math thing made me twitch :-)

Besides, the bigger picture is that BP is now able to take that 20 new percent and pump it in to a ship, which they can then process and sell. They're finally able to squeeze a little $$$ out of this. That IS what's most important, after all.
