You guys are the only people with comparable gas prices to where i live ITT, its 3.17 currently at the "racetrac" gas station down the street. DFW Texass
i drive a 02 mountaineer automatic for what its worth, 18-25 mpg. I miss 4 cylinders and plan on going back to a 4 banger standard ASAP.
Just pull the injectors off your engine untill you are down to 4 cylinders lol, really.
Make sure you are still firing evenly on both sides though, you dont want 3 to fire, the one to fire.
Had a friend to it to his i6 f150, went down 2 cylinders and he went from 14 to 21 mpg.

To be running on 2 cylinders and getting 21 mpg is just terrible .. i had a 92' slant 6 f-150 and was getting 22 mpg running all cylinders (it was a 5 speed though) .. your friends truck is fucked and him pulling injectors off is just going to fuck it worse. I prefer my trucks for lack of a better phrase not ghetto . on a 4 cylinder nissan or toyota i could easily get 28-32 mpg on a standard (have before) thats the kind of thing im going for.. a 50% increase in efficiency over my v8 would be very welcomed, even if its at the expense of 3 rows of leather seats and a roomy interior

No, we don't necessarily drive "smaller" cars. Thanks to the ridiculous gas prices, we just decide to drive sedans that are fuel-efficient, get the best km/l, and you can't even dream of driving a ford or chevrolet truck unless you had money lying around.
Just because our country is smaller doesn't mean that we live closer to our jobs. It's true that we have a sophisticated public transport system, but the average korean must drive at least an hour or so, too, if he wants to work a job that can feed his family.

But he is running 4 cylinders, not 2. And also, there is no negative effect of running without 2 cylinders firing, it just reduces the hp/torque. A few car manufacturers have produces.cars that switch between v8's and v4/6s . When you are just driving 2-4 cylinders shut off to save fuel, when you are in performance mode all cylinders fire correctly.

Is that a manual?
Also curious about what type of transmission is in your 6, and what year is it?

That's pretty good. What car do you drive? You don't have to say year model if you don't want to, just the brand.
