I have started to wonder if Honda engineers wanted to promote a little hooliganism when they programmed the IMA map for acceleration. It takes a considerable throttle opening to get the IMA to help during acceleration. Most of the time it seems like it is there just to smooth out load so that the car can stay in 3 cylinder mode longer. However, if you really give it some throttle, the IMA will help. I wonder whether I am better off easing into acceleration with all 6 cylinders only providing propulsion, or if I am better off accelerating hard, with IMA helping, then getting to 3 cylinder operation sooner.
