I've noticed it more even in my mother's Hyundai, when I was driving home in the snow on Friday from work, the roads were iced up like a hockey rink. I kept driving in 1st and 2nd gear and using the motor as a brake from time to time and I boticed I used a bit more fuel than I usually do. Same with my Ford Explorer, when I hit 4 wheel drive, my fuel consumption goes up.
