My Volvo has day-running lights (i.e. they are always on - it's a new EU law, although Volvo have had this option for ages). Someone told me that I should consider turning them off because they would help my fuel consumption. Really?? I guess it's because there is more load on the alternator? Does it really make that much of a difference to MPG?
