Ok, that's why it sounded like such a familiar problem.

If you want an instant readout, you need to program it in the software. If you have something that generates output data (aka in Excel CSV format), then for instantaneous MPG you *still* need to program something that consumes that file in real time and spits out the instant MPG.

Does your car have a MAP or MAF sensor? As you have already read, I have the no-fun MAP sensor, so I don't have an easy MPG algorithm.
