The Germans were fueling a war with it because they had limited access to
oil. Had they won in Stalingrad they would have made their way to the oil
out there. Price is a relative thing; if they have no oil then they HAVE to
make fuel via some other method. It HAD to be done at any cost. Let's say in
today's dollars it costs them $10 a gallon to produce, it did not matter,
they needed the fuel. For us right now it's just not practical.
The Germans were making synthetic rubber for tires too BTW.

Why is it to expensive to be practical? The Germans were fueling a war
with it way back in the early 1940's. It couldn't have been that to
expensive. They had to be making huge quantities to fuel the vast
numbers of airplanes and tanks and other vehicles.
