Aircraft and shipping require hydrocarbon-level fuel energy densities by mass and/or volume. There are no, or exceedingly few, substitutes.

Petroleum consumption will, can, and has proceeded well beyond EROEI 1:1 parity within such uses -- see Germany's WW2 Fischer-Tropsch process.

The correct measure here is total economic return.

Fuel synthesis is negative EROEI.
