Think those costs are off with two different sources and sizes.
Google sez this:
"However, in general, distilled water is more expensive than deionized
water. This is because it takes more time and energy to produce
distilled water, and it also requires special equipment that not all
companies have."
When I worked in the lab we had a distilled water line to every bench
but it was replaced by deionized water to save cost.
Been decades since I had a car battery that needed water but I am
hearing it is better to put distilled or demineralized water in your car
radiator if needed as minerals are bad there too.
