CO2 emissions for older cars

I've been wondering for a while how much CO2 my car (a ten year old MGF which does only about 3000 miles a year) puts out, and have now discovered the answer.
http://www.smmt.co.uk/co2/co2search.cfm is the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders online tool that has the figures for CO2 emissions from older cars.
Turns out my MGF puts out 190g/km which equates to roughly 1 metric tonne of CO2 per year given the mileage it does.
Obviously, 190g/km can't be precise since it'll depend on the state of the engine, driving style and so on but it's a useful datum to start from.
How do others fare on an annual basis?

Simon is there a calculator that we could make that takes mileage and Co2 output to give you a yearly picture of your cars carbon footprint? -- Stuart |

I could put something together in Javascript, it's basically just:
Kg of CO2 per year = emissions in g/Km * annual Km / 1000 Later... Here's the resulting calculator - give it a go.
