Of course, none of the dealers in my area have any 4x2s, let alone an LE 4x2.

That's cool. I'm self employed and work at night, so I have to get out in the Snow and Ice when no one else is around, So I depend on the 4X4 to keep me safe. Now I will modify my original statement and tell you that the 2 full tanks of gas I ran thru the Titan in 4HI dropped my MPG down to 13. But I did make it home safe in some really nasty Ice storms. There use to be some post and pictures of 2wd Titans that didn't do real well on the ice.(this truck does weigh over 5000 LBS.)
I just wanted everyone to know the you just don't suffer like you use to with 4X4. I think the window stickers show a 1 mpg loss for the 4X4. My sticker says 14 and 18 MPG.
