How about, if you're environmentally friendly, you take the bus, or at the
very least, drive a Honda Insight?

In all seriousness, discussing the environmental friendliness of certain
minor CAR features is nearly absurd.  Despite my love for my M3 , I will
freely admit that going to individual cars for every working human is the
least friendly thing we as a culture have ever done.

Buy an enviro-smart car. Carpool.  Bus.  Train. Telecommute.  All of these
things far outstrip the environmental benefits of turning off your running
lights.

total cost of operating daylight running lights is billions of dollars each
year as well as untold pollution. So, if you are environmentally friendly,
you might want to leave those lights off.
