So the new Impalla that chevy has released has a option for a 330 HP V8 with 28 highway fuel consumption.
Thats amazing. Just amazing. I wonder how far fuel efficency can be pushed? |

Jim N,
I have a dumb question which I ask because I don't feel like thinking right now and because, well, I'm dumb. What would be the problem of just shutting off the injectors for particular cylinders and leaving the valvetrain operating normally? Wouldn't there still be a gain in economy? Oh, and isn't part of the increased efficiency due to the fact that the remaining cylinders are operating with a greater charge density? I was under the impression that a denser charge burns more efficiently. Andrew |
