The problem with using a speed sensor only is that ground slope is ignored. Add that in and you can calculate a vehicle power at the wheels. A(n accurate) G sensor would do it.

Aero - including wind speed - will have an effect but you could just draw the BSFC plot using low road speeds and collect enough data for wind direction to average out.

I would be interested if anyone can find that project though.
