You are likely paying for the convenience of it being chilled. The same goes for soda. A small bottle of pepsi that is chilled will often cost you more than a 2 liter that is warm. This water isn't cold. Still, that is just semantics. In the end this is likely not price gouging so long as the full case price is not any more than the price of the individual bottles times the number in the case, but to me it just feels like them taking advantage of people in need. They could sell it at half that price and still probably make 150% profit.
