It sure as hell isn't because they can increase mileage 2-3 mpg.I'm sure on a 
VW bus there are lots of other things that would make a bigger mileage 
improvement.Driving a toaster isn't contusive to good mileage.

          If I'm dreaming then so is every major car company in the world. They 
are all switching to LEDs from bumper to bumper and it ain't 'cause they're 
pretty.

          2-3 mpg you are dreaming.

                    Incandescent bulbs get too hot to touch. It has to take a 
substantial amount of energy to create that heat and that's ultimately coming 
out of the gas tank. 
                    Even if I only squeeze 2-3 more miles out of a gallon it's 
better for the environment and a step in the right direction. 
                    Besides, if I ever forget to turn my lights off, the bus 
will still start in the morning. 
                    P.S. Thanks for reminding me. I need to check my tires. 8^)

                       All of the bulbs in my Scirocco have been replaced by 
LEDs except the head lamps.I can't believe that they will make any difference 
in the fuel mileage.That sounds like sales talk to me.Increasing your tire 
pressure by two or three psi will probably make more change in your mileage.I 
have red LEDs for dash lights and I don't really like them that much.Of course 
I haven't changed to white so they must not be to bad.

                              After, possibly, more research than it was worth 
and pulling my dash apart many times to try several different LEDs, we finally 
have a winner. 
                              These bad boys are twice as bright as all the 
rest yet still not too bright. They are just right. It is really nice to have 
everything so well lit for a change!
                              They are at the cool end of the spectrum so the 
light is snow-white. 
                              The best part is they are only $2.44 a pair, no 
tax and free shipping! 
                              I shoulda bought 50 of them and sold them for 5 
bucks each in Fredericksburg. 8^)  
                              They're from a company in China that I buy stuff 
from all the time. The prices are great but it's always 4-6 weeks for delivery. 
Considering their prices it's worth the wait.

                              They are polarized, so before you put your dash 
back together, wait to see which ones you have to turn around first. 
                               Next I'll be upgrading my interior lights and my 
brakes and turn signals. I read it actually makes a significant difference in 
your gas mileage. We'll see. It probably wont be that significant unless I do 
the headlights too, but those suckers are over $100 each, so forget that.
