less than $ 1.00 per gallon, nothing. As a home brewer all sorts, it will not happen unless you get all the ingredients for free and use a solar still that will make one liter per week.
1 pound of sugar in 1 gallon of water close to 8% alcohol. so that 10, 2 oz You'll need 12 pounds of sugar to make 1 gallon of ethanol. If you buy 1 ton of sugar in batches, it will cost $ .17/lb. you will have $ 2.00 per gallon in sugar. Then, every gallon that you do, you need the government .40/gallon $ in taxes. Gasoline is much cheaper
Today you can buy ethanol at $ 1.60/gallon, so why would you do?
