Yes, with my ScanGauge.

I'm hoping this shows warmer temperatures for highway driving. Around town is all right. Highway is 10*F above outside air temperature. When it's 15*F out and the car is gulping 25*F air, the engine is not liking the cold air much. Last winter when I visited New York, the car knocked so badly that premium became cost-effective to boost fuel efficiency. Warmer air means less knock, at least for my car.
