if u want to transport friends and whatnot, then dont come complaining about car cost..i was just trying to optimize car use cases. sure u wanna go camping ? might as well buy a AWD car for a trip per year and pay for the fuel of daily work commute. might as well buy two cars in this regard..if only public transport was that reliable, and also wages were fair..

The difference in fuel use between a two wheel drive and AWD vehicle is negligible, you might as well have an AWD. Especially if you don't commute in your own car.

u would think a 1L gasoline engine with 86Nm of torque would serve awd in rugged terrain ? unless u live in the us, where even front wheel's are run by 2 liter diesel, at 360Nm

Yes, AWD would give you more traction, regardless of how much power is in front of the drive train.
