Hi There Pavel - from my understanding and ex-
perience the "distilled water"  sold in gas stations 
is really deionized water and as you rightly state has nothing to do with
steam distillation.   Properly distilled water reads .000 on a PWT from
Hanna.   So take your tester with you before you purchase !!!!!   A truly
good
steam distiller is made out of glass and has no plastic
components and is therefore not cheap, all the counter top distillers I
have investigated and own one are not going to give you a .000 reading 
the best I have 
achieved with mine using rain water is 1.3 and as you
rightly say the quality of the water to begin with is
of upmost importance !!!!   The same formula which we
all know used for computers is the same in this case -
s in = s out !!!!!
Regards to all
Sandee
