My LED bulbs were one of the most expensive parts of my project.
I don't expect the current draw of the bulbs alone to make much fuel difference, but since I run w/o an alternator, it takes some stress off of my batteries. When considered a part of the alternator delete, the fuel savings are more apparent.
In particular, my white luxeons in front for driving lights let me leave the headlights off in low visibility but not completely night time conditions (like your winter commute) so it ends up saving 145 watts by not having the headlights on. They don't put as much light on the road, but they are actually more visible to oncoming drivers.
As an extra benefit, the LEDs are all much brighter than the stock bulbs were
