Because it's pushing more of a load in the front, making it give more gas to the engine.

Is two wheel drive or four wheel drive better?
It's more a question of being different than better.Two wheel driveA two wheel drive car needs fewer moving parts, so it'll be lighter, less expensive and use less fuel. OTOH it'll have less traction, as it's only two wheels pushing.Four wheel driveA four wheel drive car needs more moving parts, so it'll be heavier, cost more, and use more fuel, OTOH with all wheels pushing it'll have better traction.Now, what's better will depend on how you plan to use it.If you're staying on decent roads, not carrying or towing anything, then 4WD will cost you a fair bit, w/o doing you much good.If you're regularly driving on dirt/gravel roads, maybe in the snow, maybe even off-road, then 4WD can be real helpful and possibly worth the extra cost.
What does it mean when you put a jeep Cherokee in 4 wheel drive and it says part time?

All you have to do is unplug the wires going to the transfer case, and plug it back up if you ever have to use 4x4 again. If you do want to change it to 4x2 it will cost you alot.
What is the difference between full time and part time 4 wheel drive on a jeep Cherokee?
Four Wheel Drive Modes Two-wheel drive (2Hi): In this position, the front axle spins freely while power is sent to the rear axle and wheels, which then drives the vehicle. Part-time four-wheel drive high-range (4 PART TIME): In this position, the centre differential mechanically locks the front and rear driveshafts together, which then rotate at the same speed for maximum traction (this position is designed for temporary use when extra traction is required; only use on slippery or loose surfaces). Full-time four-wheel drive high-range (4 FULL TIME): In this position, the centre differential splits the power, sending 48 percent to the front axle, and 52 percent to the rear. The transfer case may be left in this position on any road surface - including dry, paved roads.
How do you remove the steering wheel on a 1991 Jeep Cherokee without an air bag?

Does all wheel drive and 4 wheel drive use the same amount of gas?
Of course they do they are the same thing because cars only have 4 wheels, so it would be the same as an all wheel drive.
Will an all-wheel-drive vehicle tend to oversteer more than a front-wheel-drive vehicle?
Depends how it's driven - a front wheel drive car can be prone to "lift-off" oversteer, which happens when you come off the gas mid way through a corner. An all wheel drive car will normally tend to oversteer if you use too much gas through the corner. It all depends on the car though!
Do four wheel drive cars use more gas?
Yes. In general. Though driving 55 mph on the highway with 4WD will use less than driving 75 mph on 2WD.

Do 4X4 trucks use a lot of gas?
If you are comparing two trucks of the same make, model, and year then yes a 4x4 will consume more gas due to the extra weight of the axle, transfer case, additional drive line, and heavier front suspension, as well as the increased friction that the additional drive train causes. However if you get stuck in a two wheel drive truck you will be wishing very much that you had a 4x4 regardless of the cost of gas!
