An easy way is to parse the .html file generated by mrtg.
You can either pick up on the displayed figures below the graph(s) or
use the commented values such as 
<!-- maxin d 1 -->
<!-- maxout d 87 -->
<!-- avin d 1 -->
<!-- avout d 34 -->
<!-- cuin d 1 -->
<!-- cuout d 0 -->
and so on for ... w, ... m, ... y as appropriate.
