You read correctly, it is toast! That's what I'm going to do if grid charging does not help the battery pack out. AFAIK the only thing wrong with my IMA is the batteries themselves.

What's really killing my mileage is that I live downtown now, and lately I often drive short distances in stop and go traffic. How and where you drive seems to make a much bigger difference than anything you can do to these cars.
Amazing mileage. I agree, these numbers are incredibly difficult to hold on too. I haven't had any trips as high as what you have seen yet!

A lot of what I do is short city driving. I've just had many long highway trips to pop up recently. I can still get 60 mpg in town without IMA.

If I lived back in NC where it is flat and didn't have to deal with the elevation change that's in Missouri, I think I could have tanks well into the 80s and 90s.
