emissions

[woody]

i have just been looking at http://www.4x4prejudice.org/environment.php
the page shows the MPG and emissions for the discovery td5 30.1/ 262 co2
but what are the the emissions and mpg figures for the discovery 300tdi

[James.Harwood]

The old man recons he gets about 35mpg regardless of what he does in his.  It has somewhere around the 200K on the clock and still running well.

Well, looking at their emmisons figures, DO NOT BUY a for Mondeo!!!!!

THIS PART UNDERNEATH IS NICE TO READ
As can be seen, whilst certain 4x4s do produce more pollutants than certain small cars.. they are by no means the worst. In fact, some small cars are worse in terms of fuel efficiency than some of the 4x4's. And this is the big problem with trying to generalise about a vehicle type. It is STATISTICALLY WRONG to say that 4x4s are terrible polluting vehicles.... a Ford Focus Zetec produces MORE CO2 per kilometer than a Nissan X-Trail, a Mini Cooper does fewer miles to the gallon than a Land Rover Freelander... the issues are not as clear-cut as some would make out.
We should also consider the sales figures for the vehicles. 4x4 sales accounted for only a small percentage of new vehicle sales in the UK last year. Banning them may reduce emissions, but if it does, as can be seen from the above data, it won't be by much. If every X-Trail owner who bought a vehicle last year bought a Ford Focus Zetec instead, there would actually be an INCREASE in emissions. The evil 4x4 ?

basicaly all FREELANDER owners should buy a FORD FOCUS(co2 emissions go up) and all DICOVERY owners should buy a SUBARU(co2 emissions go up and economy goes down)

i think i'm starting to ynderstand the greenies now :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:
