Please know, I'm not really calling your wife a nut, it's just an old saying that makes a great point.

Haha, I wish that was the case. Really what happens is she sit in the truck with the A/C and it chews through the battery. IF the road had no stop lights then yes in 4 mode the truck can get up to 30mpg. But there are something like 8 or more stop lights between here and there. That is a lot of wasted energy getting that big truck up to speed so many times.
