Removing the front driveshaft on a vehicle with traditional 4wd wouldn't gain any fuel economy.. If it were a primitive version of AWD eg; an early Grand Cherokee then yes it would increase fuel economy becuase it is always locked in.

If your front drive axle is disengaged there will be no resistance to your transfer case as it won't be engaged effectively giving you the results of not having a drive shaft. right?
