It is not okay to add the values. You have 193kB in and 193kB out.

Turn off autoscaling, look in the options section of the documentation
on http://ee-staff.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg

If you only want to view the sum, just add them inside one target. This 
is described very well in the docs.

If you want to view them apart and added up you may want to start using
rrdtool (see 14all in the contrib dir) and create the sum-graph without
an extra poll of the devices. You do need to study rrdtool a bit ofcourse.
