I've always read that 4x4 vehicles consume more petrol, but never understood why. Can any sifu teach me?
Why 4x4 vehicles got higher FC?, How come?

You mean the transmission of the engine pull to rear wheels is highly ineffecient and causes a very significant loss in energy?

Why does the discussion tend to assume 4x4 means heavy vehicles?
 There are small cars with 4WD also right? E.g. the evolution... Does the same rules apply? |
