This is a question Driven to Madness

Captain Placid asks: What annoying things do significant others, workmates and other people in general do that drive you up the wall? Do you want to kill your other half over their obsessive fridge magnet collection? Driven to distraction over your manager's continued use of Comic Sans (The Font of Champions)? Tell us.

That is for a 100% efficient alternator/ battery, and 0.5% of max horsepower, not average power. Not sure what the real numbers are. I'd guess around 30%, and average tractive power of around 8kW, in which case the numbers look a little different.

Anyway, I've seen figures that suggest moving from incandescent to LED DRLs can give you an extra 0.5mpg. Not the end of the world, but still a waste of fuel.
