That's tap water, Tom. Apparently, the current price of it is £2.66 a unit / cubic metre / 1000 litres.
3 x 40 gallons is equal to 120 gallons, which is about 540 litres. £2.66 x .54 = £1.44.

BB the people who run the car washes are not bothered about how much water they waste so use your pressure wash. The water company also waste millions of gallons with all the leaks on their network
