Don't wash it! Uses no water at all! Otherwise, I suspect that the bucket and sponge is most economic on water - one bucket with soap, one clean water for rinse should be enough. It's more down to how often you clean it, though - mine is done twice a year if it's lucky.

Help me drive a manual transmission, i am having trouble... am i killing my car?

A bucket and sponge but only if you rinse using a sponge also, not using a hose. If your car is really dirty, encrusted with mud or salt, the bucket method does not work very well.
In many places especially where water is in short supply, car washes are required to reuse water, so the average water use per wash would probably be less than most home methods.
Other environmental factors to consider are contamination of surface and ground water and the soil so what kinds of chemical or soap is used for cleaning and how the water is disposed of also matters.

A Bucket and Sponge. If possible park your car on the lawn - so any water dripping off your car will water the lawn at the same time. If you've got any water left in the bucket at the end either tip it on the flower/vegetable plot or in any tubs you have got plants growing in.

Using a mild soap bring the first bucket to suds. Using the wet sudsy sponge, wash from the roof down. Make the tires last. This way the water works its way down soaping the car up on its way. Use half of the bucket to wash the car body and the last half for the bumpers, grille and tires.

Tire question can you please help me!?

Water is environmentally friendly..use as much as you need.
Soap is not, avoid using soap (cars have no sweat to wash
off, how did that practice get started in the first place?)
Some soaps can even harm your finish. I have a business washing million-dollar aircraft and I use soap only on difficult spots. A car costs MUCH less to paint. I'll betcha the same
method will work.
