How about in the original "olive drab"?

Recycled WWII (or even Korean War) jeeps probably don't cost much, but I don't know how many are still running.

Also, this Jeep brochure lists 96 vehicles with the cost per mile to operate (I assume from the CNW "study"), and because the Jeep has the lowest cost/mile it is named the "greenest". Since when does cost per mile equal "green-ness"? I could build a crapmobile with a smokey diesel engine, manufacture it very cheaply by using low-quality parts and no process QA, and even if it belches sulfur, by their criteria it would be "green".
