– Why can’t we just ‘produce’ gasoline, like synthetically?

Answer 1

it would kinda defeat the purpose of having it

whatever process we could use to synthetizie gasoline would likely end up using up the same if not more energy than the energy you could get from burning it.

plus if the outcome is chemically identical it would create the same by products which are just as problematic.
