this figure (10%) makes no sense at all, or must be an extreme
exception. perhaps the car has several hundred lights attached ?

the impact on petrol consumption must be negligible for the VAST
majority of vehicles, especially in the context of other factors that
impact consumption (driving style, city/highway, etc).

a4qt. driven by ppl who switch their lights ON when they get in the car,
OFF when they get out. whatever the conditions. if this prevents **one**
moron from driving into our precious audi, that's enough to justify the
annoyance.
