Obviously, the bigger the number the better. (I suspect Pete M might win this one.)

5790kg / year

11369 - you need to drive more miles!!

2858kg/year

That site is crap though it refuses to acknowledge the existence of most of my cars.

Pah- measely 6642kg/yr. I need to get a bigger engine or acouple of them!

tim..

13490kg / year.....

Of course, this is only using the Passat's details and doesn't include the 75 or bikes.

913, I'm not even trying :(

5871kg / year But they don't include the aero, so I had to use the anniversary.

I don't think so :-D

TDM

According to that if I do 15k miles a year I win.

Big time. 3509243 kg/year in the 4.6.

The turbo isn't listed.

If I do 50k miles a year, that gives me a stunning, and quite frankly very enjoyable 11697477 kg/year.

Oh, that's enough to make me want to put a sticker in the window with it on.

That looks a bit wrong to me.

Looks incredibly wrong to me as well, but check it out.

50000 miles, 94-02 Range Rover 4.6 HSE Auto.

Aye, still looks wrong.

I reckon you've broken it.

35739 but it should depend on how you drive, and if motorway or stationary in town.

Pathetic website doesn't find my current and just-previous machine.

It claims my carbon footprint is 7,315kg, then has the audacity to suggest I

*buy* a Passat 1.9 BlueMotion TDI.

I ran it with the Vee, and it told me to buy a Panda :-)

Doesn't list the new acquisition if I enter the registration *or* try to select it as a model.

Useless. That was before it suggested a BlueMotion.

Any idea how many blueberry muffins I'd have to eat to pass a BlueMotion Passat.
