Yes
Nerys, you had some caveats above ... but again, I think the balance has shifted
so far towards people believing that A/4WD has 'magical' properties that I think we should go
even further in pointing out its limitations and detriments whenever the subject is first brought up.
You're right about the main problem ... an automotive industry that is all fired up to sell an extra unnecessary something to people in the name of higher profits. Couple this with public ignorance and you have a lot of people running around spending additional money on something they don't need, causing them to burn more fuel than they should and (in some instances) actually killing them.
