You might find an old zemco unit. We have discussed inexpensive flow meters here and how to monitor them and report mpg but nothing solid. There are too many fuel injected cars to make it a priority IMHO, and converting to fuel injection can probably be done for less than $400 with some boneyard parts, and would provide better economy/control/monitoring.
