im just trying to get my head around whether or not the map forces the petrol to kick in earlier or whether everything runs as normal up to when the petrol engine would normally kick in anyway, and then it's off to the races? considering the electric motor 'augments' the main to provide some grunt etc.

thanks in advance
There is really no change to how the car operates. It still switches back and forth between Electric and ICE like normal. The biggest difference is when you get on the throttle, it will be noticeably more powerful. I am stage 2 BM3 and my last tank I stayed in ECO Pro, and did 68ish on the freeways, and ended up with 53 mpg average for the tank. so its really the best of both worlds.
