Well, not gasoline per say but something strangely close. With minimal filtering and no refining these amazing trees produce fuel for up to 70 years and and at a rate of 1 barrel per 4 trees per year. After extraction, the fuel must be used within a few months but can be put almost directly to work in a diesel engine. However, even if the fuel is left for too long it changes into another form of oil that fetches a fairly high market price as a medicinal substance.
The implications of this go beyond another form of fuel production. Family farmers could use a few acres or less to power their equipment and vehicles, saving not only the cost (environmental and otherwise) of purchasing standard fuel but also the ecological cost of transporting fuels across great distances to reach rural areas.
As of right now, unfortunately this particular species of tree has a difficult time growing outside of tropical environments. It is also difficult for a novice farmer to cultivate. However, with the new added attention on the tree it is hoped that work will be done to make it more available and potentially modify it to make it easier to grow as well.

真正意义上的树生石油
这不是汽油，却是异常接近与汽油的东西。无需任何过滤，也不必精加工，这些神奇的树产出的燃料能用70年之久，也就是说每四棵树每年能产一桶原油。经过提炼后的燃料虽必须在数月内使用，却可以直接用于柴油机。然而，即使是这些燃料被放置的时间久了后变成了另一种油，它们仍有很高的市场价值，可用于医药。
这种产油方式优于其他各种燃料生产方式，可谓是项意义重大的发现。家庭式农户只需用几英亩地或更少的地种上这些树便可驱动他们的设备工具和汽车，这样一来不仅节约了（不考虑坏境因素的）购买标准燃料的成本还可以节省将燃料长途运送至乡村地区的生态成本。
可是不巧的是，目前，这种树还很难在热带以外的环境生长，而且它对于刚接触这类种植的农民来说又很难栽培。然而，随着对于这项发现的关注日益增加，人们会采取更多的措施，使得培植技术更易掌握并能改良，让这种树更好种。
