Home brewed ethanol better than corn?

Time for something less corny?

E-Fuel Corp is offering a new microfueler that will cost about $7,000 after a rebate. It can produce about 5 gallons of ethanol per day, using 10-14 pds of sugar per gallon of ethanol. Does this make any sense, or does it prove that ethanol just isn't as sweet as it once sounded?
