There is no such thing as a new "high powered electric" power washer for "$100-$150."
Besides the cast iron sleeved Honda GX 200 [honda-engines-eu.com] engine (a little less than 6hp), where this Ryobi washer is unique is it's adjustable throttle for more or less pressure. Most are full on or full off and dependent on the various tips for more or less pressure applied. Add the auto decompression, it is easier for some people to start... Grandma could pull the rope start on this one. And yes, at 3600 psi, this will clean your concrete drive with or without the optional rotating head. They had the better wheel model attachment for flat surfaces, but think it sold out.
Most gas power washers have throwaway engines unless you want to bore out the cylinder. The cast iron sleeve in this one can be replaced and use standard pistons, rings, etc. Someplace [pure-gas.org] in any decent size town, they sell ethanol free gas... use it, or at least use it at the end of the season for storage. It is only about 50 cents more per gallon with a higher octane (91) and worth every penny over water absorbing ethanol for small 2 and 4 cycle engines.
TU for the great price.

My statement was....
.
How much is that electric Ryobi 2700 psi that only puts out 1.1 gallon/minute?
It does not matter, but we just can't get into a decent 3500psi plus in electric that puts out 2-1/2 to 3 gallon per minute for the similar price of gas. I am looking for a 4000 to 4500psi electric washer with similar gpm to bench mount and most are 220v and pricey.
I been a standard home owner for many years and my AR Blue 1900 has been adequate for everything I done with it as a standard average home owner. Being realistic here, cause your needs are no where near realistic to 99% of home owners. Also something your requesting would cost upward of $2-3k+.

Never mind... you are getting way off base from your original statement with strawman BS.
Buy whatever you want to buy...

The water hitting the vehicle from a further distance would have lower velocity as it slows from air resistance, and lower mass flow per unit area as it spreads out (assuming it's a spray pattern and not a linear jet). The reduced velocity and reduced mass per unit area would result in much lower forces applied to the paint during deflection (decel/accel).
A flow restricting nozzle that spreads said flow out into a wider pattern would also achieve the same results. As a very general example, assuming a feeder hose is of negligible resistance, decreasing a circular aperture radius by half would increase its resistance by a factor of 16. All else equal, this would result in a 16x decrease in flow rate. Half the diameter equates to a 4x reduction in cross sectional area, thus for a 16x decrease in flow rate (in an idealized example with the nozzle as the sole meaningful resistor), there would be 4x decrease in fluid velocity exiting the aperture as well. A reduced mass flow at a reduced velocity, and less force per unit area of paint.
Real world applications would likely deviate from this sterile example, but the premise is the same.
