Funny thing - today I drove through the results of our massive storm - 40 minutes down, 40 back - partially plowed roads, going down, some were not plowed at all. I'd say I was in 4wd 90% of the time. I watched the average and current MPG and it sure didn't seem any different than the first 80 miles I put on this tank. I figured it would be lower but I didn't see any appreciable difference.I had an XJ with Full Time 4WD. I used it once in a great while when the pavement was in a wet-dry-snow-wet-dry situation. Otherwise, all it did was use more gas unnecessarily. Sounds like the JT Select-Trac doesn't engage unless it's necessary. That's nice, but I still don't see the need for it.
