You'll feel differently after you have to pony up the cash to fix your front axle or transfercase. It's abuse to use part-time 4WD on dry pavement and will cause premature wear and failure of drivetrain components due to excessive forces and shock loads being put on them. If you have "a few miles" of dry road then take it out of 4wd, it's not that hard. Just twist the knob.
