Electricity is a great basis for energy exchange and usage.
You can always generate electricity on site from other fuels in an emergency.
You can't generate gasoline on site.

You can grow corn (or any high sugar crop) and convert it to ethanol using fermentation and distillation. Making fuel isn't really that difficult. Making it cheaper than the oil industry can refine it from crude, that is nearly impossible.
