This is why I'm driving around at 22mpg. A new head would get me up to 26-28, but the $500 isn't worth it.

My advice is to call around and make sure it's actually the battery pack-how many 617's are sold for nothing because they run rough when the real problem is maladjusted valves and out of spec injectors?

If it really is the battery pack, remove it yourself and sell it as a 'core' to someone who reconditions the packs. The reduced weight ought to help your mileage.
