I'm beginning to think that when shooting for higher MPG targets use of the IMA might actually hurt you because of the need to maintain the state of charge and the need to regen. DFCO+regen is way worse than EOC because you're losing momentum. Unless you know you're coming to a stop it's probably best to EOC in most situations.
