That was based on some of the really expensive ceramic filters with a low max gallon throughput, not bottled water in general.
We use Brita pitchers, and since the water in Seattle is pretty good to begin with, the filters last about twice as long as the average, and at $40 for 10 at Costco, well, 5-7 cents a gallon? We do it to get rid of the chlorine taste, which messes with coffee and tea. Huge difference with tea when made with filtered water vs tap.
