Dunno about that, had less trouble with my 3 vw's combined than our old 300tdi disco.

This sort of thing has been going on for a long time.

Years ago in the UK most electronically injected cars had a 'flat spot' at around 50mph. This was where they did one of the fuel economy test figures so most manufacturers leaned the vehicle off at this speed !!
Some of the aftermarket chips just got rid of the flat spot and the overall economy improved.

Don't some diesel Jeeps have exhaust fluid? I remember reading this somewhere.

Do you mean Adblue Diesel exhaust fluid - Wikipedia
Lots of newer diesels use Adblue to reduce emission levels.

Urea? Yep, heaps of modern diesels use SCR, and some are now using SCR along with EGR. Trouble with AdBlue is not everywhere has it, and the car or truck sulks big time if you run out. The Scania used to de-rate by about 25%.
