I wish there was a 'current' MPG meter
Good way to get your mileage is to go to a weigh station, weigh the car, set your trip odometer, take a trip, re-weight the car. The differene is fuel weight. IF you know the weight of your fuel (premium is ~ 6.35 pounds per gallon according to most sources), comparing the number of gallons used to the length of the trip is easy

Make sure you weigh it before you take that cup of coffe or suitcase out, ot it will distort the results.
