A regular LED might very well do that, but you'd have to get very skilled in reading the brightness/dimness (or outright flashing if it got slow enough) to make any sense out of it.

To make something that told you your actual fuel economy, you'd have to figure out how to drive that. And that's pretty non-trivial if you don't already know how to do it.
