full time 4 wheel in absence of locking hubs isn't exactly correct mate, though your front diff turns with wheels doesn't mean full time 4 wheel unless you select from the lever. Yes it has an impact on fuel efficiency. Have you installed new tires? Big off road tires? I had this same issue and at the same time engine oil level went up. Ended up repairing the pump for the second time in 4 moths coz diesel pouring into the oil lines of the pump. Also check any leaks from diesel lines and any abnormal sound in injectors while running.
