lifetime, a 3.5 litre Rangerover will be around 10 times cleaner than a

Have any data to back it up? Is there a study that takes into account
recycling the materials, the intangible costs of the CO2 being released
into the air, etc.?
What you said sounds good. But it isn't necessarily accurate. Without
a full blown study that tried to take *all* factors into account, you
can't possibly know.
