A quicker response from other operators would be i use X amount of gallons example 95,000 gallons and my bill is $3300 a month
we have two touch free and three SS, and i don't feel I'm washing a respectable amount of cars is my concern. I'm worried there is an issue with my RO. if the membranes are bad would a higher percentage go to waste? It looks like we washed 1050 cars that month which is only 35 per day.

Many variables. You need to understand the amount of water used per wash package. Our Washworld Razor uses about 70gals per package (each of 3 options), 35 for our basic package. Self service should use about 3-4 gallons per minute. For RO you use 2 gallons to make one gallon of Spot free but we reclaim the discarded water from RO process and use it on the touch free machines. For 190K gallons I would expect you to have washed 2000 plus cars with IBAs. Maybe the invoice was for multiple months?
check your IBA manual and see if you can calculate amount used per one wash (roughly).
