No, that's wrong. An Aussie Locker is a mechanical locker like a Detroit, Lock Right, or No Slip. It locks 100%. Its just much smoother than a Lock Right once broken in. One tire can be completely off the ground and I'm still moving.

I had my best mileage yet last week (22mpg with about 2hrs wheeling in low range). The locker unlocks fully around corners for I don't think it could possibly change your mileage except by encouraging you to wheel more often.

I do have one complaint- I can't find anything yet that I can't overcome, by shifting into 4wd. Like everyone else does, I will say it's the best off road mod I've done.
