HIDs may reduce power consumption as you're looking at about 20-30w versus 100-110w of power.

Thanks, yeah I like having the headlamps on, I'll leave them.

And on the trolls who came posted in this thread saying what a waste of time it was......we all do different things for different reasons. They came on knocking what someone else is doing. Do they do the same thing on the gardening web sites telling them to buy carrots at the store because they are cheaper? Saving money isn't the only thing people have passion about, some just like to grow carrots!

Personally, I can afford to fill my tank, it isn't that big of a deal. And I am not super "green" I am not trying to save the earth (honestly, what can one person do?) but I'll give it my little try and damn it, I like to see what I can do.
