Isn’t there a way to make gasoline in a laboratory?

Like I know gasoline is a byproduct of refining crude oil and everything , but how come we can't just make it by combining the base chemicals? Isn't gasoline just hydrogen and carbon atoms? How come we haven't figured out a way to reproduce it completely synthetically? It's probably a dumb series of questions but it's one that has always bothered me because I've never been given or found a good answer.

@MarineBob "invested in" sounds so much nicer than "bought of with" doesn't it
