Car wash is 100 m from my house, should I drive or walk there if I need my car washed?

Walking is usually the better choice for a 100 m distance:
Fuel & wear: You’ll save a few cents of gas and avoid extra wear on your tires and brakes.
Time: A 100 m walk takes only about 1 minute, which is negligible compared to the time the car wash itself will take.
Convenience: If you’re already at the house and just need the car cleaned, walking eliminates the need to start, stop, and park again.
You might prefer to drive if any of these apply:
Bad weather (heavy rain, snow, extreme heat).
Heavy items you’re carrying (e.g., groceries, sports gear).
Physical limitations that make walking uncomfortable.
Follow‑up: Are there any specific factors—like weather, time constraints, or carrying items—that could influence your decision?
