Fuel flow meters are expensive. A more economical alternative is a
simple vacuum gauge. I have one installed on Cruis'n Rulz!. Adjusting
the throttle for max vacuum at a certain speed automatically gives you
the best fuel mileage. Often times, on my boat, just a very slight
adjustment to the throttle raises the vacuum 1-2". Very accurate and
sensitive.
