Default accurate OBDii gauge for fuel mileage?

I know the UltraGauge will not calculate fuel used accurately due to the way LR measures something in the MAF..

So has anyone found a reasonably priced gauge that will work?
(I know, if i have to worry about the fuel, I should not be driving this thing...)
Thanks

I've never seen any mpg calculator, factory or aftermarket, that was completely accurate.
Every one I've seen has been 1-2 mpg over the actual mpg.
Easiest way is to fill up, let the handle shut of the gas(don't top it off), drive where ever and burn 1/4 - 1/2 a tank, fill back up at the same pump, let the handle stop it again, and divide the miles driven by gallons used.
Then be prepared to be disapointed, lol.
