So they deactivate half the cylinders is that right?
If so, if only half the engine is running, why is the saving only 5.5%? I noted that even the Accord V6 which can run on 4 or 3 cylinders isn't lightyears ahead of the Aurion V6 or the Falcon I6 in terms of fuel economy for that matter... So is this deactivation stuff just a marketing ploy? If Ford was doing this, would they be applauded for trying something new? Dunno...
