Question Bill, freeway economy tune ??

Hey Bill,

As for an economy tune for freeway driving, can a program be written that would cut fuel to 2 cylinders to improve fuel mileage on the road. Maybe something that would work in correlation with engine load. Thanks, Mike

You mean like how some dodges can cut down to 4 cylinders? I've been wanting to ask that but keep forgetting.

That would be a very usefull tune if it's possible.

yea thats quite impressive to me how dodge is doing that.
my buddy recently got an '04 1500ram 4dr. the '04 hemi is rated at 345hp stock!!
he also says it gets better mileage than his previous ram that was a 1500 single cab v6.

im interested in the answer to this one....
