You were saying ...
Doesn't seem very efficient to me.
Have you ever seen how many tons of dirt have to be processed to make an ounce (or however much) of gold? LOL...
It's all in the profit. If you can make a profit, it's efficient, and that's all it takes.
And you saw the numbers expressed in the article -- and that's what you call "profit".

But from 42 gallons (one barrel) can be refined approximately 19 gallons of gasoline.
That's almost 50%. One hell of a lot more than a ton to 1.5 gallons.
An interesting alternative. But cost efficient? Not so much.
Apples to apples. Don't care about dirt to gold ratio.
