The Interior Department is investigating whether BP paid enough to the federal government and a nonprofit foundation, based on the price of oil during the spill and the amount BP recovered.As oil gushed from its Macondo well in the Gulf of Mexico last year, BP vowed to contribute any money from the sale of recovered oil to a little-known environmental group, the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation.
