"Chryler has the 5.7 Hemi engine that I think they call multiported, anyhow the way it works is once you get up to highway speed and dont need the power anymore 4 of the 8 cylinders shut down and you run on the 4 cylinders."

Yep... but I always heard that the worst gas mileage was in 'stop-and-go' traffic, getting *up* to highway speeds, etc.

Wonder how the multi-port Hemi would stack up next to a good diesel for operating expense and power to the road?

Compared to a diesel, the HEMI will go! Also doesn't smell or rattle. The diesel should save some fuel though, especially in traffic.
