ELM 327 & app to read MPG

I ordered an ELM 327 wifi ODBII plug in to read codes. I download the app Torque Pro/Engine Link. The ELM 327 wifi works with iphones or ipads. There is a bluetooth version for Andriod phones. On my 8 mile commute to work with no traffic, the 4.3 recorded 17 MPG. Yea!! Over half a tank, it averages 16.75+ MPG. Higher when I drive it on highways. City driving is normally 16.5-17.5 MPG. I'll plug it in on my way home after work. Traffic will be heavy for about half of the 8 miles. I'm sure the average will drop. The app has options to add instantanous MPG. I will try it later at 70 MPH. I'm amazed with even 236,000+ miles, it still does so good. I will check another screen with vaccum/boost. I'm really curious if my ram air setup makes a difference. I can find out by disconnecting the air feed tube to the stock air box.

I'll keep adding pics as I collect more data.
