I'd wonder what people are using for fuel flow meters. I thought aftermarket items were somewhat pricey. An accurate speedo isn't all that expensive. Even a cheap handheld GPS will have a speedo function. We have a FI Mercruiser 5.7L. I wonder if it has a control bus with a data port that can be read for fuel metering ?
