I wonder how much additional efficiency could be squeezed out of a system that turns off half the cilinders when they are not needed. Chrysler used this successfully on the Hemi. I believe some of the predictions for future BMW's is they will use start stop systems too. I don't know how well that will work to keep the AC going down here in hotter than hell Houston.

Yup, screw the feds.
