So Honda themselves are lying or they dont understand their own system? They keep saying the engine will drive the wheels at high speed. Or there's a specific speed limit for this?
Honda dont lie. The system determine which mode is the most efficient. I notice if i drive between 80-120kmj crusing on flat road, it alternate between hybrid and engine mode. But if faster than that, is hybrid mode.

agree with u most of the time cruising will constantly in-short intervals switch between 3 modes.
especially for civic.. coz 2.0 atkinson always charges the 1kW battery faster than u can consume.
also hab a not-mentioned in broshure~ parallel hybrid (assist) mode also where both drive-motor and engine locked together.

so its only triggered when driving force is low at high speed, sound like cruising at 80-120km/h
at very high speed, you will have more resistance (wind etc), that will increase driving force.
Yeahh. And fuel consumption increase too if drive above 120kmj.
