I would have thought it would be more than that.

Still have all the internal friction and it hasn't changed the actual loading... I'd rather have a better transmission. Especially when you consider at leats in the case of the Odyssey which was the only cyl-deact vehicle I've driven just how much other stuff is added including noise cancellation through the speakers... way too complex! Make the motor smaller, or some kind of on demand boost, but deactivation is too much complication and risk for too little gains IMHO.
