I guess I am still getting used to the concept. It's weird trying to explain the system to a curious inquisitor when I don't have complete buy-in.

I have noticed IMA kicking in more in normal driving, so I am starting to feel it is worth something. Although tonight I noticed in cruise control at 70 mph rpms went up to 4k without IMA kicking in.

I am still learning... that is, the car is still teaching me how to drive.
