Default disengaging/ disconnecting cylinders??

Hey everyone Im young live in canada and cant afford gas problem is I need my truck once or twice a month. So i am going to disengage 2 injectors maybe more if that works. I was wondering if there are any problems the engine might incure because of this? as far as I can think there might be an issue with the spark plug and heat. but i know someone with an isuzu that has done this and it works fine and he says a lot on gas.
has anyone done this? any comments/advice??
