Ed,

I think everyone is in agreement that your battery pack is aging fast from mountain driving. I was wondering how bad the batteries are.

If you have an occasion to find a strech of road that is relatively flat for several miles, you might want to see if your battery charge is full. If you have that chance and the charge is full, the batteries are probably OK. Then you might be able to see the Insight and get a Prius, saying you want more than a 2-seater. If you sell it to a flatlander, it might be a win-win situation.

Hope that helps.
