Re: How to keep assist on?
From what I understand the IMA motor is being used (without showing assist bars) during VCM to 'balance' the engine so that it doesn't shake as much as it would if there was no IMA, so during VCM there's still some battery power being consumed (minimal, just pulses) to help the fuel economy.
Assist is not the holy grail of fuel economy, really it's everything else that gets you great fuel economy, especially VCM.
