How can I get the "Light bulb" refactoring tool in visual studio to use explicit types and not var?

Question

When I use the light bulb refactor built into Visual Studio to generate a local variable it always uses the var syntax:

I (personally) don't like var and would prefer to it to use an explicit type (in this instance double). so it should create the code:

double v = CalculateDownTime(lineid, start, end);

How can I alter the Visual Studio settings so that it will do this? Is it possible?

Please don't discuss the pros and cons of var vs explicit types. And no I don't want to use Resharper.
