I would doubt that it would help fuel econ because you are always just driving one wheel (either allowed to be any ie awd or allowed to be rear) and the software doesnt change the fact that the car has the additional and heavier awd drive components for the front. If anything I would expect it to be negligible at best if driving the rear wheels is more efficient because you are resisting the corning friction/forces less. But I will let others weigh in with data or counterpoints

Complete myth. I record every fill up and when I averaged the RWD tanks vs AWD tanks the value was the exact same to the second decimal point (I was surprised by that).

Physics would be invalidated as a science if it was not a myth
