Re: Full-time headlamps stupid!

I guess DOT figured what most people realize- americans in general are
stupid, especially at driving.  You can instantly tell how big someone's ego
is by the way they drive.  Some people feel extremely uncomfortable behind
another car(perhaps rightly so)-When I took my road test, the officer told
me-"there are  a lot strange kooks out there that you gotta watch out for..."
Most new drivers I know are much better drivers that older, "more
expericenced" drivers out there- they follow the rules, signal, usually don't
try stupid stunts or try to squeeze into places they don't belong.
Back onto headlights...
Having daytime running lights isn't too bad on our volvo, and on most cars,
if you read the manual, there are instructions on how to turn off the DRL's.
 On our volvo, there is a small screw that you turn to disable the DRL's.
 The manual does say that the canadian version does not have this screw.

How much gas does leaving your lights on comsume?  Anybody have a MPG figure?
