Synthetic fuel would be a mayor interest to oil companies, because it would allow them to reuse large parts of their infrastructure and product placement and project forward into a world that is increasingly critical of their current practises.
Oil companies have logically never really had mayor interest in fuel efficiency so pushing the IC envelope is less to their interest than pushing the fuel envelope.
