I had a 1981 Cadillac Eldorado with the "8-6-4" system, which would run on 8, 6 or 4 cylinders, as power needs changed.

Consequently, it only lasted one year, and I ended up having to junk the otherwise good car in the mid-90's because I could not find a replacement computer when mine went out. Be interesting to see if this new version catches on.
