- kjellsbells 1y agoNot a chemist, but iirc plastic isnt made from gasoline but via LPG > olefins > plastic. But even if it was, isn't that just the magic of fractional distillation? You can stop cracking anywhere on the spectrum between asphalt sludge and gasoline so if the demand for gasoline dropped off, you would still be able to produce other products.
