The 2005 Dodge Magnum RT will feature cylinder deactivation when it goes on sale in the spring of 2004. The Chrysler Group Multi Displacement System (MDS) seamlessly turns off the fuel consumption in four cylinders of the 5.7-liter HEMI engine when V-8 power is not needed. This provides a world class combination of performance and fuel economy.
i can't wait to see how bad this fails.

It already has failed once...in the 70s during the gas crunch I think it was Oldsmobile? who tried it... failed miserably and it's been 30 some years since it was even brought back up.

it was done in the early- mid 80's by caddilac. it was called the v8-6-4 engine, and it ddi just what the magnum is going to do. it failed then pretty miserably, as the car gained approx 1-2 mpg. with 20 years of computing advancements, ill bet dodge will get this to work well. how much the gas mileage changes is probably just as minimal as the caddilac, its more like a gimmic to make their big honkin truck appeal to greenies.
