Has anyone ever checked the dif. in gas mileage using un-locked locking hubs vs stock locked hubs at dif. speeds? I once used a clear sq. 5gal tank in the passenger side floor with 1/4,1/2,3/4,1gal,etc. marks on the side.I tried several dif. speeds and got dif. mpg with each.The best was 46mph,I got 16mpg and have often wondered how many more mpg I would have gotten had I had unlocked hubs.This was without winch or bed.
