How can having your lights on increase your engine fuel consumption? The alternator robs the same amount of HP whatever amperage its outputing no?

we are using more gas?...meh...ohhhh wow an extra 0.01% gas consumtion increase. For some reason i dont think im toooo worried. Also, couldnt you just..i dunno..use a highoutput alternator?? plus i think toyota and all other car manufactures that would make their cars with day time running lights would put in a higher out put alternator to compensate for the additional drain. but you know..thats just me.
