I would expect somewhere around 30mpg on motorway.
Even if your not getting better mpg, they are still a benefit as they reduce stress on the drive train when not in 4wd.

are you saying you only get 23mpg with the hubs and a 5 speed gearbox?

also if your front diff was to lock up you can turn then on to get around it!

I managed 38mpg on the motorway out of mine on one trip with a 1.3. I'd fiddled and tweaked it in various ways though.

When mine was still an F10a I used to get between 25-28mpg on 31s so it should get a bit more than that, I used to thrash mine everywhere as well
