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.

No. But, I got over eight million hits when I tried vacuum gauge. I was
hoping maybe you could narrow it down some. But, that's OK.




I paid under $100 for what has proven to be an accurate and reliable gas
flow meter. That's not expensive.


I'm trying to figure out where to mount my flow meter. There's no room on
the dash. I'm thinking of putting it right above the engine cover on the
inside of the transom.

Any ideas?
