Really? The Aerocivic has a full-size spare? Thought for sure you would have ditched that for weight savings.

I have a can of fix-a-flat in both my truck and the Metro.
I throw a full size spare into the bed of my truck if I am going on a long trip. Otherwise, I save the weight. I also don't like a tire hung below the truck, where it just rusts on anyways.

The Chevy Volt comes with an air compressor in the trunk.
