Doesn't matter.
Marginal savings is meaningless if the resulting product is worthless.
On top of that- 99% of people who find a ruptured can with black ooze are trashing it.
And the other 1% are spending more energy/resources to clean a contaminated container than the recycling will save.
(Washing things is surprisingly expensive in terms of energy/resources. Often worth it for reuse, but not recycling.)
Now you're essentially comparing mpg on a trip to no where.
