The problem with this is that you will get way better MPG with 4 cylinders working normally. Actually, you are even better off running a non-Vtec engine (what you have unless you swapped it) unless its the lean-burns with VTEC-E. 2 cylinders on the highway is not enough power to maintain a decent speed. You would be mashing the throttle to the floor and that defeats the purpose of disabling the cylinders in the first place.
