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.
