I'm sure most here will say it's the MPGuino. After that, good calibration of an Ultra Gauge or Scan Gauge should yield about the same results. But I don't think they'll detect very small changes in the factors you mention. UG takes a sample every second, I think.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
