We're driving on fewer cylinders these days Thanks to high gasoline prices and federal fuel economy rules, more Americans are demanding cars with four-cylinder engines than want V-6s ... Leitner also test drove the same SUV powered by four cylinders but decided the bigger engine made it easier "to merge onto the freeway." The substitute teacher from Rossmoor said he thinks the extra power works better for driving in the mountains and for long trips. And besides, Leitner said he was already making a concession by trading in a Chevrolet Tahoe with an eight-cylinder engine.
