wow... how many cylinders are you going to shut down in a turbo 4 engine? that is just crazy talk... i think that we're at the threshold of economy and performance for our affordable technologys of today... 260 hp and 29 mpg out of an engine that at 130hp gets upwards of 36-42 MPG... i'm going to be interested to see how many MPG the 300 HP version is going to get... maybe it'd be more efficient (MPG) to get the 300 HP out of the 2.4L or the 2.2L ecotech engine...
