"used oil from a generator to a dealer sells used oil at approximately $.25 per gallon"
"The United States Energy Information Administration reported the national average price for diesel fuel in December at $2.78 per gallon"

That would make plastic $0.25 per gallon or cheaper, otherwise they wouldn't bother processing plastic at all and just process used oil. Since that's not the plan, plastic must be expected to cost $0.25 per gallon or less.

I know, it sucks having to pay $0.25 a gallon (or less) to make $2.78 per gallon diesel fuel, but we'll live. And live well.

But but but but plastic recycle value is worth more than fuel! Bullshit. Here's reality:

"Recycling one ton of plastic bags costs $4,000. The recycled product can be sold for $32"
