What I use gives me all of that and 10% better mileage. It costs about 9¢/gallon to treat.

If the link you posted is what you're using then it contains no biocide.
That's a good thing.
True biocides are fairly aggressive chemicals which are not needed as long
as the fuel is 'dry' and uninfected.
As a rule I focus on keeping water out of diesel and avoid using biocides.
Think of biocide use the same way we should use antibiotics, i.e. to treat an
active infection.
