Part-time 4WD is pointless - if you're going to have 4WD have it all the time.

What if one is NOT an Arab oil sheikh, a Texas oil baron, a British, (North
Sea) oil whatever; and/or do NOT have the bank account of same?

That's one opinion. Not one held by anyone with a clue about
4x4 drive systems, but an opinion nontheless.

LOL!

My Land Rover Discovery 2.5 diesel does 30mpg with permanent 4WD. Are you
