So anyone wanting to experiment or actually implement cylinder deactivation should go with an OBD-I based car then?

I don't see 15 year old or older cars being a problem. Most of the cars I like are older/discontinued and automakers seem to have forgotten how to make cars get great gas mileage. That or they intentionally sabotaged their conventional ICE models to make their expensive hybrids seem like a better deal than they are.
