horribly gas mileage with 4WD
it just snowed here so i've had to drive in 4WD most of the time and im getting terrible mpg's. im getting around 150 miles on a full tank so i was wondering if this is normal and if its not what i should do.... possibly change all the fluids like diffs and t/c.

in my truck (94 4runner 3.0lt V6) around town i get about 200-250km (125-160miles) per tank, and on the open road about 400-450km (250-280miles), my truck drinks like it goin out of fasion.
and its a real 4wd thing cause if your gettin great fuel econemy it aint a real 4x4

In and out of 4 wheel all this week basically, I got about 14mpg instead of the usual 15-17mpg out of my t100. Your full turning and applying power to alot more than the 1 wheel on the rear-thats why it eats gas.
