In heavy duty diesel engines the fuel consumption is very high. During the return trip if few cylinders are nor fired (4 cylinders out of 6 cylinders)

what will happen.

My car has an i-VTEC engine and I wish there was something on the dashboard display which told me how many cylinders it was using - it would just be nice to know, that's all.
