my VW Passat with ATQ engine (Variable cam timing V6 ) has that as well
it is an available Parameter ID or PID in scan data
they just have to look up the PID.

not all systems have that

Experience so far - Apart from estimating MPG in wimpy gallons it is not too far off being a match for the on board one on instant figures and factoring a conversion in my head (multiply displayed MPG by 1.2).

My real scare was putting in coolling temp and getting 190 Deg F whilst my gauge was showing 90. Then I realised the gauge is in Deg C. *Facepalm
