I wish they would do a marketing study to see if Ecomodders like us would pay *more* for an Eco package. There's got to be a niche market for people like me that will pay for a CRZ "HF". I want the 6-speed tranny with a taller 6th gear and an even more agressive eco-fuelly mode. After all, the override to any eco-mode is always the accelerator pedal.
