For this process, gallium is an alloy metal, not a catalyst. If we assume 10% gallium (published articles indicate 20%), current value for the amount of gallium in 350 pounds is approximately $4000 USD (gallium pricing from http://minerals.usgs.gov/minerals/pubs/commodity/gallium/460303.pdf).
Stealing cars for their fuel or hijacking fuel trucks would become highly profitable. This alone would probably make this process too disruptive to be viable.
