OBD as Trip Computer?

I love my 2000 E150, but miss having a basic trip computer such as fuel consumption, etc. Any recommendations for an OBD/Bluetooth device and App for my Android phone?

We use the ScanGauge 2 unit that connects via it's included wire to
the OBD2 port. I have not tried any of the bluetooth connected OBD2 apps.

ScanGauge has lots of features including trip and engine rpm/ monitors. Mpg as well.

I use the iSaddle Super Mini bluetooth OBDII reader from Amazon and the free Torque (Lite) app for Android. Have had good luck with this combo on multiple vans.

Link for dongle:
