On the cylinder deactivation not getting double mpg would be because the pistons are still knocking around even when no fuel is going to them. They still produce friction with the cylinder walls and some pumping losses as well.

Nope. I know very well its a v6. Had a couple friends in highschool with them in a sebring and an avenger.
