They were making synthetic fuel and it was not enough.
Guess what he wanted and needed badly.
so the US and Canada were the nations that turned out most of the westren allied tanks, ships and aircraft and were the main source of fuel and supply line to the British and The UK.

Heck by the end of WW2 Canada had the worlds 3rd largest navy and 4th largest airforce and had massive amounts of tanks, jeeps and army trucks.

the axis fell because we destoyed the factories and the Germans were not as good at mass production but had better designed and higher quailty tanks and planes.

Look up the oil fields and refineries around Ploesti, Romania. Again, Hitler sent troops into North Africa to support the reeling Italian Forces. This was an unintended diversion from the main thrust; the invasion of Russia.
