Think that site needs some work...  the variants for a Patrol are not even manufactured....  4 different dual cab options and a 35th anniversary edition...  Other thing s I looked at had basic flaws also.  Models that are produced with 6 cyl or 8 cyl options don't have those options available.  Pretty hard to get realistic / meaningful data if you can't make correct selections.  OR maybe they think that if you want to run a V8 you are not interested in emmissions?

Yeah like most things the green controlled government comes up with that site is pretty unrealistic and useless. I read a report recently that takes into account a vehicles life from start of manufacturing to being scraped and parts recycled and interestingly the humble jeep wrangler was greener (over complete life cycle) than the Toyota Prius. Makes you wonder eh.
