CO2 GPM: 600.7220
NOX GPM: 2.7124

It is a 1994 Discovery I with just under 140,000 miles, manual transmission. I have worked hard on these vehicle and I am very happy with the results. I would like to compare my results to other Discovery I's that have under gone similar testing.

Good thing they don't test for the main product emitted - liquid lubrication, which usually comes out everywhere but the tail pipe....
But you do show the results of good repair practices. My backwards state does not even require testing except in the metro Atlanta area (13 counties out of 159).

"What is it that you're trying to learn?"
I would like to know if it is all the work I have done to the truck that has improved the numbers each time, or are the tests not accurate and I have just gotten lucky. The results of the tests do reflect the work I have done, but without a comparison, I don't have enough data to know for sure.
As for oil leaks, I am down to almost none.

Looks like I tossed my older ones (a pass is a pass, so I didn't bother keeping). But I have a couple from the PO/OO.
Dec 2004; 91,852 miles
HC: .4396
CO: 8.8279
CO2: 837.5925
NOX: 1.2831
Nov 2005; 93,505 miles
HC: .4497
CO: 6.9588
CO2: 802.9483
NOX: 1.5435
May 2010; 110,697 miles
HC: .1287
CO: 3.9402
CO2: 699.7577
NOX: .6248
Wow, my number got way better between the PO/OO and my last test. Really wish I hadn't tossed the tests in between (I purchased in spring 2006). What's weird is that I haven't done any major changes until this year (new injectors, cap, rotor, wires, plugs, etc.) Maybe the PO/OO did some repairs right before selling it - I have way too many receipts and no desire to dig through them to figure it out (most, if not all the work done under the OO/PO, was done by a mechanic... thus lots of receipts).
Not sure if this helps or hurts the analysis.
