Dual mode engine

 Not all cylinders firing under part load
 
(0) 		 

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.

can we have a dataset that cuts fuelling when not required and save on fuelling.

       As [tom]'s link shows, the principle of not using all the cylinders all the time is widely known to exist and so this is [marked-for-deletion]. 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.
