No. The Powertrax® Traction System and Lock-Right Locker will not have an effect on your “on the road” gas mileage. Off road, you could actually increase your mileage because it will take less effort to get through the loose traction conditions. With a standard open differential you will have to apply more power and get more wheel spin-up, thus using more gas.
