stupid comments comparing 4x4s to smaller cars, planes and trains, concluding that a 4x4 was the worst for emmisions.... even though the emissions stated for a train or plane were PER PASSENGER,
(so a 4x4 carrying seven people worked out as the cleanest)

Yes! 135kg London to Edinburgh but I presume that is with a single passenger. So a flight per person is 75kg co2 so 5 people in a LR = 135kg CO2 5 people by plane 375kg co2 Train = 25kg per person assuming the train is full no doubt. Trains tend to be full only for part of the day - rush hour and the rest of the day they are worse poluters than us evil LR owners. Figures can always be manipulated to suit a story.

i dont think they even metioned the phrase "gas guzzelers" - instead they spoke only about 4x4s... no doubts as to which side of the 4x4 fence the bbc are now

I'm confused, or just stupid, but London to Edinburgh is about 450miles, at 30mpg = 15 gal x 4.55 = 68 ltr x .85kl/ltr (correct me if i'm wrong) = 58kg of fuel.
So how does it emit 135kg of CO2 
And:
135kg / 7 people = 19kg per passenger
95kg per ordinary car / 5 people = 19kg per passenger.

OK, I've gone away and educated myself.
The Disco emits 265g/km
Thus 191kg from London to Edinburgh.
