Especially the halogen fluid. That kills another .5 HP.

WIth a good product applied to the windscreen wiper use becomes optional.

If you never have the need for washer fluid, good on you, I won't convince you to to fill it.
I keep mine filled. I've used Rain-X also in different cars, but wasn't there some issue with their formula gumming up the sensor in some cars (mainly euros)?

I recommend avoiding the rain x Orange washer fluid. Plenty of Audi owners have had it cause issues with the sensor in the tank.

Apply an Si02 product like Gyeon CanCoat. It’s wipe on and wipe off. Iron and Tar deacon prior to application and you can supply PRN.

Mixing Ratios:
1.5 parts Anti-Frost + 1 part water....-20°F
1 part Anti-Frost + 1 part water.......... -5°F
1 part Anti-Frost + 2 parts water........11°F
1 part Anti-Frost + 3 parts water........18°F

1:1 for -5F protection. So $10/gallon. Might me a good deal for you Floridians not for Coloradans.
When I saw the not rated for freezing, I added a related product, by the same company, that IS specifically for freezing temperatures.
Nextzett Anti-frost Washer Fluid

Other Rain-X colours okay tho?
In Canada I like yellow in spring, fall and summer and green in winter. But then I went to Atlanta and it was green for year round. Really messing with us with these colours. And is mixing colours scary?
