Default Re: Fuel Consomption from OBD-II values

Here is a software for OBDII to do what you are talking about.
http://obdiitools.gdatabase.com/

I just do the old fashon way. When I pump gas I reset my milage or
write down the current milage and pump the tank full. That way next
time I pump I record that amount and divid it into the milage recorded
and get an average MPG.
