I just try not to use the coin-op spray car washes. The have to recycle water and it isn't cleaned very well. Besides risking basically water sanding the car it always leaves with a film on the car.

My city water would leave a film just as bad, but not quite because my outdoor faucets go the my water softener.

Looked up my electricity usage yesterday. Turning the AC on to run for an hour to bring the temp down used $.05 for that hour. The hour I had the a/c off used $.10 less. When I turned it back on and hour later, despite running more to catch up it went back up $.10 to it's regular usage for that time of day. My usage seems to only go nuts if the outside temps get above 96°F.

I've been on the plan that charges $.05 for off peak and variable $.19 to $.42 peak from 2pm to 7pm since Tuesday. I was on the regular $.09 rate for 2 weeks. My average kWh cost has gone from $.09 to $.07.

Interesting.
