Default Re: Honda'a New Engine

Is that the engine that runs on only 2 cylinders when the RPMs are constant,
like in highway speeds? I read that a while back, seemed interesting,
actually it was printed in a Japanese auto magazine that a friend translated
to me. Sort of the 4-6-8 engine developed by GM in the 70s, or was that the
8-6-4? But I digressed.

I think the ECU shuts off the injector to the unused cylinders, also the
valves are frozen using the same technology of V-Tech, but in reverse.
Supposed the engine gets about 25km/l which equates to about 60mpg.
