I don't think the average motorist can even make the connection between
a miniscule increase in gas consumption and DRLs.
Not only can the average motorist not make the connection, nore can
an instrument like a "scanguage" or the fuel mileage monitors built
into many of today's cars - but in a lot of peoples "minds" there is a
large savings.

Never mind trying to convince them with facts - their minds are
already firmly set.
