2012 F-250 Basic Message Center MPG's

I was wondering if there is a way to display miles per gallon information on my basic message center? Currently it shows the annoying X many miles till empty and I figured if it can display that then it should be able to display MPG as well. But damn if I can find any info describing how that might be accomplished? I ordered an OBDLink MX so I can use Forscan but it won't be here until tomorrow. Appreciate any advice or thoughts thanks!

On my 2011 F350, the mpg info (average and instant) is shown in the very center screen.

Watch out for the button that says pay triple at the dealer, or the auto-destruct, or eject...
