On diesels, fuel injection pressure is variable with load. Common rails may run at 4,000psi at idle but run 20,000-30,000psi at full load. Many boats have consumption meters that uses a flow sensor on supply and return lines. The difference gives you consumption. You would then need a computer that can accumulate that flow and divide by distance for automotive use.
