I will expand on the 4WD vs AWD thing. Obvious is the mileage difference but more importantly to me is the delay to engagement on the domestic AWD systems. They wait for slippage then "clunk" in while spinning. This can be really bad if you're pulling out at an intersection or something. If the road is bad just lock it in 4wd.

Now my old Range Rover had an AWESOME AWD system that really was always on and that is a different story (save for lost mileage).
