So that`s just under £1.20 for 2.5ltrs of water if it`s been mixed 50/50

but as Mark says, it's the cheapo screen wash that tends to block your washer pump filter with a microbiological slime  ;)

I get the Makro own brand when its on offer.  Generally run it 75/25 most of the year but go 50/50 about now and, if its really cold/snowy/ use it neat.  Genrally a couple of quid a gallon when on offer.  I have prob about 6 gallons or more in reserve on the shelf at any one time and really lets the kids take the piddle - untill they need some for their cars!!

Irrespective of which addative you use, make sure its concentrate and not ready use.  At least that way you can smel, its either neat or almost neat....   :)

To stop the slime in washer bottles put a cup full of meths in the washer throughout the summer.
.
 As a warning that slime can contain legionnaires or other nasty germs.so be carefull.
