1. A method for controlling a vehicle motive power system comprising:
- determining a driver positive power demand history and a driver negative power demand history;
determining whether a difference between the positive power demand history and the negative power demand history is greater than a predetermined threshold; and
controlling the motive power system based on whether the difference between the positive power demand history and the negative power demand history is greater than the predetermined threshold.
