why not just monitor the load sensor , depending on the system the load sensor will be ;
either MAP sensor
or
MAF sensor

at any given condition a lower value on either will result in "better" fuel economy than a higher value .
so the driver adjusts driving habits to keep load value low .

that's it , simple and frugal
K.I.S.S.
it will not function with early ford digital MAP sensors or
GM digital MAF sensors
