DRLs?  No way!

The momentum imparted to your Vanagon by all those unnecessary photons
streaming out of these extra headlights will do nothing but decrease your
top speed and/or your miles per gallon of fuel (or kilometers per liter
of petrol).

Heck, I've even improved my night-time gas mileage by ALWAYS driving with
my regular headlights off!  (I'm getting 18.7896072 MPG now vs. the
18.7896058 I usually achieve with the lights on.)

Lights off, nobody home,
