honestly though putting aside my dislike for the new engine. i really don't like to here the DCT has longer ratios for fuel saving reasons.

Pretty sure the DCT has longer gear ratios to suit the power characteristics of the new engine, as a side effect it also gives better fuel economy (with a more powerful/torquier engine you can cruise at lower revs and still have better acceleration).
