The nature of the center transfer clutch is such that when cruising steadily say, as if on an interstate, it might as well be FWD. The AWD clutch only reacts when necessary. Simply switching to "FWD mode" will not net a mpg increase worthy of the time installing a switch.
The FWD mode is only intended as a limp feature in the event of transfer clutch failure (binding).
