My mini truck has the hubs locked 90+% of the time. I use it on the farm allot now that it is working. If I go shopping I don't bother to unlock them. Yeah it hits mileage some, but I'm still above 20MPG and that is allot better than the big pickups. I just flip into and out of 4WD all the time. If I'm on any of the surrounding gravel or cement roads I'll go into 2WD, otherwise I'm often in 4lo because of all the ridges on the farm. 4hi gets used for exiting one field entrance that has a steep slope to it.
