If you did not gain a single MPG, you would not regret getting this tune, your Jeep will drive better then ever. I always think how smooth it goes every time I drive it since the tune. To me, the mileage is the secondary benefit of the tune.

That is the only way to have exact mileage (assuming that your odometer is correct).

Even if the odometer is incorrect, it's a small matter to figure a correction factor if you have 50 or 100 miles of markers. I have done this with my TDI and found it was dead on. My CRD is a different matter with 215/85/16 tires is a different matter - it's now low by 4.5%.

I live in the Metro Denver area and am subject to the emission testing program. I am uncertain whether the Lib CRD is subject to emission testing. From what I have read, it appears that the CRD is subject to testing. However, I have a windshield sticker that says exempt vehicle.

Secondly, if it is subject to emission testing, would it pass after the ECO tune?

I doubt it would have a problem, but if so-- filling up with bio would get you to pass with flying colors.

The CRD with a GDE tune will pass emission testing in the US. The diesel emission testing here amounts to a "free" acceleration in neutral and a check for opactiy (smoke) levels. The tunes actually lower the visible smoke emitted from the tailpipe, so you should not have any problems.

It won't have any trouble passing Denver's pathetic requirements. Just don't have the CEL lit, and test on a WARM day. The colder the weather, the more opacity is reported. It's a stupid, meaningless test, but I had to do it because my wife won't go out of her way to roll past the RapidScreen vans.

About RapidScreen

An alternative to standard emissions testing, RapidScreen gives you the opportunity to have your vehicle’s emissions screened as you drive, rather than having to visit an emissions testing facility. If you record two clean RapidScreen readings within a ten-month window in the year prior to your registration renewal, you’ll receive a notification in the mail on your vehicle’s registration renewal card. If you choose to accept RapidScreen’s clean readings, simply pay your emissions fee along with your registration renewal fee, and you’re good to go. If you wish not to participate, you’ll need to receive a standard emissions test at your local testing facility—in which case your emissions fee would be due at the time of that test.

To ensure accurate and uncontaminated readings, the emissions limits for RapidScreen are stricter than those of a standard tailpipe emissions test. Therefore, it’s possible to fail a RapidScreen test, but still be able to pass emissions at an Air Care Colorado testing facility. If your vehicle fails to meet RapidScreen’s strict qualifications, the need for a standard emissions test will be indicated on your registration renewal card.
These things don't test for diesels, therefore they always pass with flying colors, even if you're dragging a sooty tail.
