What is the oil-cost-equivalent of existing synfuel technology?

(for uses such as air travel)

IIRC at $150 oil these synfuels were already competitive?

Varies by study, though upshot of the USNRL study wss that for net cost point-of-use (deployed carrier task force) it is competitive now (roughly $50-60/bbl cost of oil).

I'd argue that fossil fuel oil is grossly underpriced, by an order of about 10^6, but that's a longer discussion.
