not really. VTEC engages at higher RPMs, not whenever you want it to engage. it's not saving any gas at all. |
actualy it sorta does, think about what you said it engages at high rpms, so unless your racing or ****** around why should you be at high rpms??? so in a way you do save gass |
everyone saves gas if they don't go into high RPMs.
VTEC is a way to extract more power out of a tiny engine by switching to a different camshaft at a certain RPM (somewhere around 6000 or so).
