How can car washes in the US still go for $10 in these inflationary times, or a fraction of that with a subscription? Here in Australia you're generally looking at A$25 and up ($17-ish at current exchange rates, more until recently).

Selling a teaspoon of soap and 4 gallons of water for $10 is a darn good deal. And if you're already paying all the fixed costs, you want to sell as many as you can.
