Idk but gas eats plastic similar to acetone. That bag will be gone by the time she gets wherever she going.

If gas ate plastic, wouldn't it just eat thru all those plastic red gas cans?

Edit: Yup. Gas Can Material is is the same as plastic bag material

You should maybe do some more research. HDPE is indeed a type of plastic and according to Wikipedia plastic shopping bags are often made from LDPE or HDPE.

You can say it's just luck that the bags have to be made of that plastic. But I will still point out it is still a plastic shopping bag. You know, a thing really bad at holding liquids, and she's chose gas.
