My car has an off switch to the DRL. Gas is getting expensive so I am planning on leaving the DRL off. Personally I don't think leaving them on helps much, or, levaing them off saves significant of gas to be noiced. Any thoughts on this?
Dimly lit socialist countries require them.quote:

But seems like now some manufacturers are using the front turn signals as DRL. I think some places require DRL.
41 MPG! Is this with AC? My 2.4L Camry w/ 5-speed stick is rated for 33 MPG on hwy, the best I have managed this summer is 29 MPG, with AC and DRL and 70 MPH.quote:

Yep, A/C on (the car would get worst MPG with the windows down @ 70-75mph) and my 300+lb body in it. But I do feel that being at 4700ft Elevation on the valley floor may be helping the mpg.(less air = less gas needed = less power = more MPG??)quote:

well, the Corolla weighs a lot less than the Camry. It is also designed for high mileage, the Camry isn't.quote:

High altitude makes the air thinner -- less drag.
Bill got more than the EPA hwy rating, and I am consistently under.quote:
