The more cylinders there are the more power the engine produces. That's why a bigger vehicle like a truck has 8 cylinders while a small compact car that doesn't weigh very much has a 4 cylinder.

How many cylinders do a engine of 1000hp have?
It can be any amount of cylinders, there are almost no cars that have stock 1000hp or more and the only one I can think of is the Bugatti Veyron which has 16 cylinders There are so many other factors that go into engine horsepower other than cylinders, Is it turbocharged, supercharged or naturally aspirated? Fuel? What is the compression ratio? You can modify an engine with only 4 cylinders to put out 1000hp if you modify it enough. Top fuel dragsters produce as much as 5000 hp from an eight cylinder engine.

Why do engines with less cylinders rev higher then ones with more cylidners 2 or 4 cylinders opposed to 8?
It's not the amount of cylinders. Formula 1 cars have 8 and they rev to 10,000prms. It's about a shorter stroke and less reciprocating mass. Generally, engines in cars with 4 cylinders have a displacement under 3 liters. This means smaller pistons, rods, crankshaft and/or stroke. Big American muscle has V8's with big displacement, let's say 5 liters or bigger. So they have a longer stroke, bigger pistons, bigger rods and a bigger crank. So that's basically why.
What do cylinders mean for the amount of gas?
If you mean in a car, more cylinders=more pistons so uses more fuel. The larger the car the larger the engine must be to proper it so if fuel efficiency is what you want, you need the smallest car you can get away with that passes your drive test. many of these are so efficient now, they are underpowered-a common complaint.
