So as long as I drove 28 miles that $0.10 cent charging cost was worth it.
I know I drove at least 70 miles, so i'm ahead, right?

so then your able to go 70 miles on a fully charged battery without an alternator?
you still have to take into consideration paying off the deep cycle battery. by any chance did you buy the highest reserve capacity battery you could fit in the car?
