Carbon-neutral synthetic gasoline is and will be too expensive to work, apart from small niche cases. This makes it politically unviable.

We're going to have almost universal BEV adoption before the carbon avoidance cost of synthetic gasoline becomes attractive.

The tail of gasoline cars will be long. "Beater" gas cars will be around for decades. I will opine just on the USA: it has to be solved from the top-down with 0 inconvenience to average people. If you synthesize gasoline with abundant nuclear or solar power, I think it could be cost-competitive with old-fashioned crude oil.
