No there isn't an electronic way to do it. You're gonna have to use the old school method of the math......Calculating mileage of the the gallons burned.

Buy a 97+ Regal
Instant MPG and Average MPG as well as miles to empty are displayed, but I keep mine on the gauge thats most important........BOOST!

Electronic ones aren't 100% accurate if you really want to nit pick though. They are based off of OE fuel pressure specs, and injector pulses/widths. But they're close enough not to matter.

Mmmm about the only thing the car didn't come with. Would be nice to have though. I love the way my buddies truck shows 10mpg at 70 on the highway until he hits it..then it says 0mpg lol

I don't think GM felt it was important. Only line to have it ...and I'm guessing here was Cadilac.
Chrysler/Dodge put it on everything. And I don't know why with the mileage they are currently getting why the manufacturer would want to advertise...but they give it to nearly every car.

instant fuel economy
I have a 2000 SSEi with the DIC. You push the mode button until 'vehicle data' comes up.
Push the select' botton until ' fuel economy instn MPG' comes up. Thats the way it works on the 2000.
