Personally, I always leave the engine running when in a Car Wash or when parked-up for an extended period.

Once had a car (a sod*ing Renault) 'die' on me after exposure to a 'drag-thru' wash.

As to parking-up for a long period - well - any car's electronics will be consuming power even when you don't actually 'do anything' (as long as the power is on).

Having said that, the Civic doesn't seem to have a very big battery - can anyone save me the walk out to read the handbook - how much juice does it actually hold ?
