     I get it now... The easy answer is no. The 4WD systems in newer Daks
     ('93 & up, I think) have all of the parts spinning all the time. So
     there is no net difference between full-time and part-time 4WD when
     your running in 2Hi. To say it another way, 2wd on your Dak operates
     precisely the same way as 2wd on my Dak... Clear as mud?

     <<What I meant was, doesnt a 4x4 consume slightly less fuel in
     part-time 2wd mode than a 4x4 running in full-time 4wd mode?
     
     As far as superiority of 4wd to 2wd, I am a firm believer in it.
