A method of operating a variable compression internal combustion engine in a motor vehicle includes the steps of determining a driveline surge based at least in part on operating parameters of the motor vehicle, determining a driveline surge tolerance based at least in part on one or more of the vehicle operating parameters, and selecting one of the compression ratio operating modes based at least in part on a comparison of the driveline surge to the driveline surge tolerance. With a variable compression engine operating in a high compression ratio mode or a low compression ratio mode, the low compression ratio mode is selected if the driveline surge exceeds the driveline surge tolerance. Otherwise, if the driveline surge is less than or equal to the driveline surge, then the high compression ratio mode is selected.
