You pretty much took the words out of my mouth.
My advice here is to do what you feel you need to do. While $4gal gas is real, I wouldn't make this decision based solely on gas mileage. If you frequent terrain or issues that warrant some sort of 4wd, then do and don't look back.
I am now considering some type of 4wd on a new non-towing vehicle for my business. My photography has been taking me to dirt roads and fields, etc, and I'm considering something like a Jeep, 4WD Element or 4WD CRV, etc. Just this past weekend I had to park in a grass field for an all day photo shoot and got stuck in nothing more than wet grass. I could/would have gladly given the extra $100 a year in extra gas mileage to a tow truck if it wasn't for a buddy with a PU and a tow strap.
Do YOUR homework and make YOUR decision based on what you're needs are.
Input from others is good, but you know better than anyone what YOU want.
