Stoichiometrical ratio of air and gasoline is 14,7:1 but for air and ethanol it is 9:1. This means you need 63% more ethanol for the same amount of air to get a stoichiometrical mixture. In short, ethanol cars get worse fuel economy than gasoline cars.
So getting similar or better fuel economy from an ethanol running engine than a gasoline one is quite a feat.
