Way back when....1977...had a GMC Jimmy....replaced the standard auto hubs with Warn Locking hubs. I noticed absolutely no increase in mileage whatsoever.

Sure in theory you are not turning as much of the drivetrain, but the weight of the vehicle hasnt changed.

X2 on the comment we dont buy a hummer for the gas mileage.

I wouldnt expect any increase in the mileage.

Unless you tested two exact vehicles, under controlled circumstance and conditions any potential gains could be attributed to any number of things other than the mods to the drivetrain.

Perhaps this could be a good episode for MythBusters.
