I saw them reporting from Eire this morning showing one garage limited to 25 litres per customer, how far would that get your V12?.

I think Cadillac had some 8-6-4 system for awhile.Couldn't you just pull a few plug leads off and bung up the intakes?

Most companies have had some form of cylinder deactivation, normally 4 cylinders on v8 , 2 on 4 pots, and 1 on 3 cylinder engines.
the newer ones will deactivate the valves just after inlet stroke to keep a warm air spring, helps engine momentum and stops thermal shock when cylinder is reactivated.
the older ones were unreliable because many of them just killed the spark & injectors, the cylinders would run lean/dry and go cold, will kill the plugs and cause thermal shock to the cylinders.
Back on topic.
Diesel has now steadied around £191.9 round here.

I thought you had about 20 other cars to choose from?
Half of them are on jack stands- minor detail that

Now with computer control, the controlling of which cylinders to shut off does a random sort of pattern.
To keep all cylinders warmed up.

Just filled up, drove past one at 185.9 yesterday thinking Tesco would be cheaper
Nope
Don't normally go this low, so my own fault
187.9 for diesel
I hit the £120 pay at pump limit! 63.86 litres and the gauge is above F so I suspect the pump slowing to hit the limit allowed me to completely full. I could not see diesel in the neck and that is my normal fill level
