I'm not sure spending $170 on a device to figure my MPG is nearly as cost effective as doing it the old fashioned way. (nor could it be nearly as accurate)

The ScanGauge II does a lot more than just compute MPG. (add OBDII code read-out & clearing, RPM, Voltage, Water Temp. and much more.

Its MPG calculation, per tankfull, is only 1/10 of a mile per gallon off of my by-hand calculations. The ScanGauge has a corrective adjustment feature to make this level of accuracy possible.

I am a big Excel fan, but keeping track of EVERY tank of gasoline is a little much from my point of view.
