last 24 hours stats, custom output

I don't like the stats reported by vnstat -h. I am not interested in KB/hour. I want average Mb/s. The following command will give those stats...

# vnstat --dumpdb | grep ^h | awk -F ";" '{ print "hour", $2 "-" $2+1,"rx(Mb/s):", $4/3600000*8, "tx(Mb/s):", $5/3600000*8 }'
