The article says that it is good for gasoline as well. And feedstock for plastics is also oil and primarily was oil. Cheaper use of natgas takes pressure off of oil and stretches it that much farther.

Fair enough, although the title is misleading as they haven’t made gasoline yet this way. The article states it is their next step to try.

By the way, I understand most ethylene these days are made from Ethane, a natural gas liquid that has a significantly lower cost than crude oil.
