costs of AWD

I was surprised at how good the mileage was on our old subaru forester.Must have been from about 2004, before they got so huge, but after they raised the ride height.I could easily hit 40 mpg on the highway, often at over 70 mph.Subies aren't especially expensive, at least around here, where they are common. Upkeep costs weren't bad for a 15 year old car, we finally sold it after someone rear ended my wife and kids hard enough to make the rear doors bind up. Subaru has been doing full time 4wd longer than anyone, so far as I know (since the70's?) maybe they are better at it than most?
