FYI, some power consumptions tests (KMS, Xorg with radeon driver from yesterdays git snapshot, one head enabled, no relevant CPU load):
default: ~144W
auto: 127..132W
high: 137..141W
mid: 128..131W
low: 100..103W (pretty close to normal idle state with fglrx)
low (with both heads enabled): 118..121W (also close to fglrx w/ multihead)
My naive conclusion is that "auto" mode is not aggressive enough or doesn't get enough information to control efficiently. But I am sure you know better.

If you're thinking of the HDD lifetime issues with the power management in some Linux configurations that come up a few years back, remember that those things have complex moving parts, and it was the strain on those which led to their decreased lifetime, not the electronics.
