I read through that thread. I would like to use an Arduino, which I am planning on installing soon anyway. My Arduino project will already include tapping into the VSS, so just the flow meter reading and a way to measure time would be necessary. Any ideas on what kind of flow meter to get and how to attach it, without impeding the the flow of fuel? Also, would a meter right after the fuel pump suffice, or should I attach it somewhere else like the injectors for a more accurate reading (e.g. to account for things like fuel return, which I do not know if my car has)?

Thanks!
