Yep, the Scangauge will do that. Just be aware that you need to be fastidious in your resetting of the mileage and fuel used when you fill up or the readings will be worthless. The one thing I don't like about my SGII is that it defaults at 60 miles to empty and won't read any lower.

how does the scangauge better your MPF vs. the 2009+ fit's MPG sliding scale meter?

Not 100% sure on this but the fuel consumption gauge on stock GE Fits reportedly over-reads by a few MPG.

Can the ScanGauge be calibrated somehow to avoid this?

The 2009 Honda Fit has a TSB for overly optimistic MPG Meter:
Fit MPG

Once fixed, users have reports much more accurate numbers.

So I understand the Scanguage type of devices can read ODBII and obtain a lot of info on engine fault codes and what not, but in terms of reporting back on real-time MPG for hypermilers, is it any better than the Fit's MPG Meter (if it is working correctly)?

Thanks!

Don't have a scan gauge but use GarminHD in a similar way and I find that compared with the 2010 Fit mpg info they are both within 1-2 mpg.

I have trust in the Fit's MM info.
