So like 1.1 horse-power? That's approximately nothing for a 2t car.

  Wrong, that's an insane amount of extra power consumption... maybe even 10% which is a lot. In Europe, we have (IMO stupid) rules not to have rear ligts on at daytime , to save power (<10W I'd guess) when daytime running lights are used.

    It's less than the AC uses in many cars.

  > That's approximately nothing for a 2t car That’s another problem with modern cars: moving two tons of metal and plastic to, oftentimes, move a single human around is a tremendous waste of energy. That an increase in energy usage is relatively small compared to an already huge waste of energy isn’t a strong argument to declare it insignificant.
