Understood. My former employer was researching this. But taking the separated atoms of gasoline and rebuilding hydrocarbon molecules from them is -- as you say -- not quite the same thing as recycling. And it requires very large energy inputs. It only really makes sense for aircraft fuel, since large or high-performance aircraft cannot (yet) be powered by batteries.
