I believe these are convenience store prices, and the amounts given are
smaller ones that would jack up the price a bit more. I'll comment on a
few that I *know* how much I paid for them when I last bought them.

I can get Gatorade 64 oz 2 for $4 or $2 ...... $4.00 per gallon
I think I could get it more cheaply if I bought it in gallon jugs; I'm
guessing $3.89 or less.

I can get Glacia at the checkout at HEB (assuming they're stocked at the
checkout) for $0.50 for 20 oz., which works out to $3.20 per gallon.
(And it's Canadian water. Why a Texas grocery chain is importing water
from Canada, I couldn't tell you, but it tastes OK, anyway.) I can buy
a 1-gallon bottle of water at the grocery store for less than $1. It
won't necessarily be "name brand" water (I haven't priced gallon jugs of
Ozarka lately, and don't remember from the last time I did how much it
was), but I think it'll work out to be cheaper than gasoline. (And
Ozarka indicates their sources.)
And as Kneem pointed out, distilled isn't all *that* expensive, and
that's what you'd probably want to put in your car if you were needing
water as a fuel source.
