Looks like you are using retail prices for those figures. If you were to produce ethanol on a scale to run your vehicle, I'd imagine you'd get better prices in quantity. I also suspect you could get better energy use if you were to use mash to cool the condenser, and pre-heat the mash, or some other heat exchange system. I don't know if that'd make enough difference to reach the price point you are looking at, but if that were a more realistic price for gasoline it'd be a bunch easier.
