AWD effect on MPG

Since I got my AWD working I have noticed that the tranny runs cooler. I also takes longer to heat up and it takes longer for the TC to lock up. The point here is that on short drives, less than a hour or so the TC does not lock-up and the MPG goes down to around 22 from the normal highway of 25 mpg.

count yourself lucky, i get about 16-19 on a good day i don't romp on it, i always try to accelerate below 2500, but sometimes it's hard. But i also live in AK and the wheather is about -10 to +30 right now, in the summer i get about 23-29.
