gas mileage update.

I got accurate data on the 99 Limited AWD mode vs 2WD mode
----

2wd, 65mph, 130 miles, tank average 22.1, actual highway average 22.6 mpg

4wd fulltime mode, 65 miles per hour 130 miles, tank average 21.4 mpg, highway 21.8

so I would reckon that being in AWD mode takes 1mph off your mileage

and wow a lot of people pass me when i am staying at 65, but what is even more impressive is how many I that do not pass me. a LOT of drivers are keeping it at or a hair below the speed limit these days.

this is from Bedford Mass to Gray Maine and back, 130 miles one way,
average 2 times in 2wd, 2 times in 4wd in 2 non-stormy weekends
