[SEL] OT - road trip info

[chuck emsweller]

My research before purchasing the 2004 1 year ago showed that the 2x4
was less than 1 mile per gallon difference than the 4x4.  Don't
personally use 4x4 all that often, but it is nice to have it there when
you need it.  Good luck on your purchase!  Hope you enjoy it as much as
I do mine.

Chuck

Thank you Alec,

I am still waffling between 2x and 4x4.
