A method of conserving fuel in the operation of multi-cylinder internal combustion engines. The present method described here allows a portion of the cylinders of an internal combustion engine to be de-activated when less power is required, thus allowing the engine to provide full power when required, or less power with substantial fuel savings. The present method does so by altering the normal operation of intake and exhaust valves by leaving the intake valve at least partially closed, and the exhaust valve at least partially open. The present method overcomes numerous problems in the prior art, such as excess load placed on the engine caused by trapped gases, damaging thermal gradients across the engine block, and difficulty of retrofitting existing engines.
