Default OBD II interface for laptop computer

Looking to buy a OBD II interface for a laptop computer to help diagnose a gas mileage problem on 2008 Grand Caravan. Any recommendations as for a interface and software? Mileage dropped after engine overheated and dealer replaced a temperature sensor. Dealer claims all sensors are operating within specifications.

I have Autoenginuity, it is great for it's price. But as Most aftermarket scanner, it is not perfrect.
If you pay a little more, It also offer enhanced diagnostic like ABS, Body controller, airbags, etc...

It all depends on how much u want to spend. It goes from $99-$4000. and Quality goes with price.
