I don't use anything for sound proofing.  I love the sound old VWs make.  And 
besides, from an old race car adage, weight uses horsepower, get rid of the 
weight.  You want a quite ride, sell your bus and go buy an Escalade.

Naw ,we just like to keep things stired up.don't take anything personal on 
here,unless it's good.
   Being a cheap ass I used carpet padding for sound deadening.I know it's bad 
but works.

  First of all, I never said it would increase my mileage by 2-3 miles per 
gallon. I said I would be pleased if it did, but even .2mpg would be fine with 
me. Lights use gas. That's all there is to it. They don't magically draw energy 
out of the air.
  The bottom line is nobody can say conclusively how much difference it would 
make.  It would differ from person to person and car to car. If I never drive 
at night I suppose it wouldn't save squat. 
  I neither know nor care how this became such a debate. My instruments are 
much brighter now. It only cost me $6.79 and they save energy. 
  I just thought I would share that with all of you.   
  Sorry if I wasted your time with such useless information. It won't happen 
again.

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   All of the bulbs in my Scirocco have been replaced by LEDs except the head 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.
