Have you read his first Autobiography?

[Predictable Bob]

Praise the Lord !

I thought he was beginning to turn human ...

[Apache]

Well... yes... there is more losses in the drivetrain, but I imagine its not making a huge difference given the other stuff I mentioned.

You probably save more fuel keeping your tyres properly inlated.

Capital Y at the start of that sentence, you're (shortened form of 'you are'), not your and a full stop after pedant.

And, unless there's something wrong with the second law of thermodynamics, it'll use more fuel in AWD.

No, that one was a baby blue one with no starter motor and all of the gear levers hanging out!

Ok, I knew there was something about the shifters. but couldn't remember much else.

[Albannach]

Noticeable! your supposed to be the pedant

oh, and isn't this the truck Rich went to get and walked away when he saw it?

(for lots less than the ebay price?)

I'm sure its not a huge amount in the great scheme of shoving a two tonne non-aerodynamic brick around.

[TonyN]

In 2WD it has to push the front wheels around from the back, in AWD it drives them from T/case. Not sure how much difference it would make to power use?

[yoshie]

Are we saying that these turd gens' are doing more work with no extra energy use?

Yes.

No different to lugging the front drivetrain around in 2WD.

Vosene.

Hahaha, shit I remember that stuff! My mum used to use that on me when I was a wee boy. Peeled the skin off yer eyeballs!
