Where y'at...Falling Waters? The hubs save more than gas. In fact,back when they were conceived there was little concern over gas savings in a truck. When fuel was less than $.30 a gallon it just didn't rack up like it does now. The purpose is to save wear and tear on the drive train that turns when it's not used. It also creates drag which has the effect of robbing power. Lock out hubs make sense on anything that's street driven.
