That's not true, Gasoline doesn't have to be made from Fossile fuels either. It's pretty easy to make actually - there are a number of European companies doing it and with the Co2 Taxes, it will be a viable option by 2028.

Gasoline is made from petroleum.

It is certainly synthesisable by some method without using petroleum. But the person you replied to probably meant Power-to-Gas.

However synthetic or not, burning it produces same gases, which are the problem. Cleaner, but not the end solution.

Biogasoline is a thing, although I'm not aware of anyone really pushing it as viable fuel above biodiesel, ethanol, and bioLPG.
