There have been some cars manufactured to use this technique. When the engine is under little or no load (like when idling at a red light), some of the cylinders are turned off to use less fuel.
Do not attempt to do this on an engine not designed in this manner. You will ruin the O2 sensors and the catalytic converter and the car will actually get less mileage.

Water Hybrid Cars Increase Gas Mileage And Lower Carbon Emissions?
Water hybrid vehicles still rely on gasoline as fuel. Water hybrid vehicles need an HHO, a hybrid hydrogen oxygen system. The HHO is a fuel cell that breaks water down into hydrogen and oxygen. Hydrogen gas is added to the gasoline to enhance combustion. When the hydrogen gas is ignited in the cylinders it converts back to water. Not only do water hybrid cars increase gas mileage, they clean out carbon from the exhaust gas.
Does high octane gas increase mileage?
Not unless the engine using it was specifically designed for it. Gas mileage takes many things into consideration, and if a car is designed to use standard octane gas, the use of high octane gas will not increase the car's mileage - it is just a way of figuratively blowing dollar bills out of the tailpipe.
