Either use the cheap-o blue stuff (methanol, water, and blue dye), or use something a bit more premium:
It makes 7 gallons (full concentrate, or 12gal @ 1/2) and I've had the same bottle since 2016.
This is simply the best summer washer concentrate I've ever used, removes road film and bug guts with ease.
We don't have cold weather in Texas, so I don't have to bother with freezing temperatures.
I bought and used this when it was low and poured about 80% of it in the car (couldn't see a fill level but looked like I was close to the top) and it's low again. I don't use it that much so not sure what's going on.
If you're running out quickly and don't use it often then the most logical explanation is that you have a leak in the system somewhere. Either that or gnomes are getting drunk on this stuff at night when you're asleep.

My warming light came on last week and I just refilled it with the regular blue stuff, a full gallon. I was a little surprised about how early it came on after only a few months but I do use it periodically. I guess 1 gallon b/c weight savings!
The factory fill is Petronas Durance SC35, aka Petronas Tutela Sc35, depending on market.
I put some F-Jas scented stuff in mine, frankincense and myrrh, and it’s kind of cool; the car smells good!
Downside is that I unknowingly selected a Summer spec concentrate, so I need to use it up before winter gets here. It’s also pretty expensive, so I doubt I’ll buy any again.
The Petronas actually smells noticeably nicely, which is what stirred my interest in scented screenwash.
I find that the windshield washers spray a lot of fluid very fast and very hard. It gets on the roof of the car and probably on the car behind me. Perhaps running out of fluid quickly is normal for this car?
I believe that accessing reservoir requires removing the right front fender. Maybe something you don't want to do unless you are absolutely certain that there is a leak?
