W203 cluster & range

Hi everyone,

I've been driving the C180(2001) since a while now, though i'm a bit worried about the gas consumption. I'm perfectly aware that it is a 2.0 aspirated but it wouldn't hurt to observe real time data to adjust driving style for efficiency.

Looking around the cluster I noticed that the 2 main values observed are "SINCE START" and "RANGE", except these two are not real time, more like a mean value.

While they give a rough indication, of which i doubt its precision, I was wondering if there is anyway to potentially enable some secret menus that could tell real time consumption like km/litre or litre/100km (just like SINCE START but live).
Or even, if via OBD2 there is something useful that can be obtained.

How precise are the values "SINCE START" and "RANGE"?
Is there a way to provide the cluster with real time data?

Thanks
