it does nothing really as far as mpg (though some might say) but the auto 4x4 suppose to give power to the front tires when it feels their is a traction problem.
i disconnected it due to the fact that when there is a traction problem the last thing is the front tires to kick in when i do not expect it, bad things may possibly happen in terms of control of your explorer when that happens. imagine taking a slight curve on a slippery road and all of a sudden have the front wheels kick in, that could cause you to lose control or at least give you a bit of a scare.
the push button is not for turning it on or off, it is for returning to normal auto 4x4 after you turned on the 4 high or 4 low.
