to purchase the unit and would it be feasible to build one large enough to accommodate huge quantities of plastic? The refining process may not be sufficient to be used as gas for a car.
It may be a good idea, but may not be economically practical, but I would like to know more about it.

With gas over $3 now, I can see a time when $5 would be feasible. But if it takes the energy equivalent of 1.5 gal. to make 1 gal. of oil, I don't think it would be very practical.
1.5 gallons of petroleum products to make 1 gallon of ethanol. Ethanol then produces only 80% of the energy coefficient of 1 gallon of gasoline. Yet most states mandate that each gallon of gas contain at least 10% ethanol by volume, even though ethanol is less fuel efficient. The federal subsidies to corn growers are so large that their lobby will NEVER let the production of ethanol be stopped. Does that make sense....nah.
Price of breakfast cereal went up when the corn growers started selling their crops to make ethanol instead of Wheaties, as did every product that relies on corn as an ingredient. Is that practical? Again....nah.
That waste would be a problem to dispose of. That waste would be in the form of heat , gas and solids. I am guessing that the gas would be a bit toxic.
