I think he is going by what the shifter has printed on it 1-2,3,D,N,R,P Not
realizing that the 1-2 selection = first gear with auto shift too second.

Re: Part time 4WD: off pavement only??
I use both of my 'part time' 4wd systems on pavement. When it has a
covering of snow or ice that is!
I use the part time 4 wd high range just like any other shift up here in
Canada. When I see a patch of snow or slush or ice coming, I just shift
into 4x4 and keep on going. When I get back on clear pavement, I just
shift back to 2 WD. I also prefer 2 wd at slushy intersections if I am
making a left turn. Finish the turn and I drop back to 4x4.
4 high (part time) can be shifted into and out of at any legal speed. 4
low can only be shifted into when stopped or moving 1-2 mph.
Like others have mentioned, the tires need to slip in corners when in
part time 4x4 so using it on dry pavement is asking for something like a
u-joint or worse to break. Even rain is not 'really' slippery enough,
unless it is at freezing.
I also think your gas mileage is 'way' off. This is likely due to the
oversized tires giving you incorrect speedometer readings. The larger
tires travel farther every revolution than the speedometer thinks. I
use a GPS to check my 'real' speed with the dash speed. We get over 24
mpg in our Cherokee on the highway with about 18 combined city/highway.

Ah - bet you're right. His mileage sure seems low though. Mine easily
gets 17.5 in town and up to 22-24 on the interstate.
