Hi jomelmaldonado -

I would think the open source MPGguino platform would be ideally suited to being modified to do exactly what you describe: monitoring fuel consumption and generating a signal to feed the AudioVox cruise unit.

The Ford MAP sensor would be easiest, if it's "plug and play", of course.
