you can but not a good choice.
No gas savings.
Still have the same weight to pull... With the factory fwd the car weighs less so might help some, not the fuse thingy.

He'd still have more whp/wtq, so less power would be needed to move it all along, no? Seriously though, AWD ftw. My Shell station's V-Power just dropped below $2 a gallon. Who cares.

My AWD is not working right now and believe me you don't want to drive in FWD unless you really have to. Even on dry pavement the handling suffers and launches always result in front wheel spin.

No. The weight is the same. The transmission just has to use two wheels to do it instead of potentially 3.

Using the FWD fuse is designed for Diagnosing only. That's it. Nothing else.
