will take some digging just to find out if the bell housings are the same gas to diesel..
Actually I just looked up the stat and the diesel gearing is already a lot taller than the other models (3.2 final drive vs 3.94 for the 1.8L gas). Must be nice...

Haven't decided if I'll keep the Cruze yet b/c I have an Elio reservation. If I do keep it, the plan is:
1. 24W LED headlights ($80, save ~0.1hp)
2. get ECO wheels (~$1000, save 21#)
3. lithium ion battery (save ~30#, haven't figured out the details yet)

I do like this car alot and my fuel cost is only 7c/mile, but those steel wheels are driving me crazy.
