Gasoline can be made in a chemical plant from bio-organic feedstock. With sufficient energy input, anything is possible.

Not economically. Oil is still the best way to get gasoline, and using other processes and inputs makes EVs even more attractive.

One datapoint supporting “not economically”:

There was a plant in Missouri to convert turkey offal into crude oil using leftovers from a Butterball plant. It’s been shuttered and the parent company filed for chapter 11.
