This gas milage theory was de-bunked a few years ago...There IS a savings, but 
not even 2 to 3 miles per gallon...Mythbusters also took it on....The more you 
can cut down on electrical usage, the more the savings, but its pretty 
small...also, using LEDs are made more effective by the lense config...
Havin' said all that, I'm gonna try those LEDS when I get a chance...

  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.

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   All of the bulbs in my Scirocco have been replaced by LEDs except the head 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

  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.
