Yes it is cheaper but there is not nearly enough to meet demand.
Start to give you an idea how much they will need. A pound of wood holds about 10,000 BTUs of heat.
A gallon of gas packs at least 120,000 BTUs.
The process isn't 100% efficient and the process appears to leave a good portion of energy behind as "active charcoal" waste.
I'm thinking they would need at least 20 pounds of wood to produce each gallon of gasoline.
