" Even more interesting I found from research is that
" coal can be converted to gasoline at competitive
" prices to imported oil.  The government discovered two
" methods for making synthetic fuel after the invasion
" of Germany in 1945 and successfully duplicated both
" methods in small to moderate test runs until the
" 1960's when Congress killed the budget for
" development.  The fuel was only used for government
" vehicles.

south africa has done extensive development on gas from coal, also
based on the original german research.
