See if there is a "self service" car wash near you... they typically have a dial where you can select different kind of rinses, foam, etc. I use one and it is about $3.50 to get a good wash.

I took my HCH2 to the car wash today. As it gets pulled through, the engine is always idling and my average MPG just plummets. Is it a big deal to shut the car off while in the wash and restart it when I exit?
See? Dumb, right? 
This car could really use a forced EV mode like the well known Prius mod.  |
