Just wondering if it is the same in North America. My new 2012 1.3 litre 75 hp diesel Aveo LT doesn't come with a spare or temporary tire, in it's place in the spare storage area is a GM compressor and can of sealent. My dealer says all new Chev's in europe, and for that matter Volvo's, which they also sell, don't have a spare, but this mini compressor which plugs into the lighter socket and the can of GM tire sealant. I guess anything to save money and lower the weight for better mileage.
