I don't have a whole in the car itself, I have a hole in the bumper, so if I decide to take the conversion out, its only a replacement bumper.

I did consider the diesel, but for the same cost as a gallon of diesel I can travel over 80 miles.

Yeah, but at that difference, you must be doing extra urban, so you would have got about 70 out of a dooper, so therefore, it'll take you a long time to save when you take the cost of the conversion into account. And, of course, it'll affect your warranty and TLC.
