If you compare the apparent velocity of the escaping oil to previous shots from days ago, it is MUCH less, so they are definitely catching a lot of it.
FoxNews just reported that they are only going to be catching about 41,000 gallons per day with this cap, whereas nearly 1 million gallons per day are spewing out.
