The bucking is still there. Everything I've tried seems to temporarily fix it.

That sounds pretty good!
I had a 2000 model with M5 trans. Battery was shot. On a roundtrip from Denton up to Oklahoma City, and back, at 65-mph, and AC 'ON,' I averaged 52-mpg 'tank' mpg.
Without the IMA, on all the rolling hills on I-35, I had to downshift to as low as 2nd gear just to maintain 65-mph.
But 52 mpg @ 65 with AC was as good as my CRX 1.3 HF, without AC, and at 55-mph.
