No...thats not what VTEC is designed to do. VTEC, (Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control) can advance the camshaft timing relitive to the crank shaft, improving top end performance.
Its not some hyrbid engine design that helps save you gas. It actualy uses more gas by basicly giving you a bigger camshaft at higher RPM's, adding more fuel. The engine will advance or activate additonal lobes on the cam, just as if you were to do a cam swap while driving.
