I do have something that is pretty cheap in mind for the mechanical diesels, but you have to install a throttle position sensor and a rpm or pump rotation sensor and a speed sensor, and I or someone has to teach the guino how to make sense of it.

I'm also thinking about just using a function like speed/(throttle position*rpm) for my bike too, to see if it is reasonably accurate.
