An engine that is running more efficient should produce both more power and have better fuel economy.

Why would cylinder deactivation have any effect on max power ratings @ WOT?

well for one, a different cam would be required for some reason i can see this move as a good move in the eyes of consumers, but at the same time, if it were ford that done it, i could swear it will be there down fall.. holden and toyota could sell s**t, and people would buy it these days

Quote: As part of the mild engine update, all entry-level Commodore V6s built from November will get 5kW less power, representing a 2.8 per cent reduction. The 175kW power output of the new Commodore for 2009 is identical to that of the 2004 Commodore - and 20kW less than the rival Falcon.
The entry-level Commodore will now consume an average 10.6 litres of fuel every 100 kilometres, down from 10.9L/100km with the outgoing model. still not as good as the i6 doing low 10's. f**k lol at anyone who buys a new commodore. they are just market bunnies.

why make a hi po v8 more fuel efficient

I reckon they need to put it in there. It's becoming more and more common, and Ford will look like they're behind the game if they don't get it going... |

I dont think an I6 would run nice on half cylinders. They run beautifully on 6 as they are naturally balanced.

V6 is crap as they are not balanced and require balance shafts. they are not running on half cylinders they cylinders are shut down in a specific sequence over time i think u will find it be like 2 cylinders will not fire at a time... the siully thing is ford has the tech to do it they do it in the AU falcons if it overheats

F*#k if i new but it says in the article " Quote: Mr Tamburrini says different camshafts and exhaust tuning were required to accommodate the cylinder deactivation system, resulting in the reduced power and torque figures.
