How about I look at it this way... I drive an econobox, therefor I can spare a little gas for the off chance that someone sees my headlights and chooses not to step in front of my car and ruin my life with lawsuits.
Anybody have any test data on how much gas is used by these things? I don't want any assumptions based on wattage, or dropping revs at idle. In a daily commute, how much gas would be saved by not having drl's. We're not talking about full-on headlights here, just drls.
