That appears to be my biggest use of juice while in motion. (also while resting)
Unless I run the fan as it's resistor based.....
I've got my headlights down to 40w at night.
After market manufacturers don't generally publish specs on this.

I only use radio really. That suits me fine these days. The radio use about one amp, and I'm usually happy to spend an amp (13w?) on that luxury. On a long journey where I want to absolutely minimise ampere spend then I might use the radio on my mobile phone with headphones.
I could also use an mp3 player with headphones (actually an old i-phone which I also use for internet radio) but I rarely bother.
I used to use over-the-ear headphones years ago when I drove a noisy van, to protect my ears. If you can cut out background noise with headphones then you don't need such high volume to hear the music properly, plus it just plain sounds better. I built in a headphone socket and a speaker-kill switch in the dash from the car's hifi.
