Well I was thinking, the other day while looking over aircraft instrumentation, why not add a GPH fuel consumption meter to the coach? this would make alot of sense especially for finding that "sweet spot" on a long cruise for maximum fuel efficiency. granted the ones for aircraft usually read fuel consumption in PPH, but marine applications use GPH and LPH, I found 2 such gauges I think would be great addition to the coach.

the floscan unit is more pricey, but has a choice of display units, and fits in a 3 3/8 hole, while the Lowrance unit fits in a standard 2 1/6 hole and is a bit cheaper and uses a 3/8s fuel line for the sensor..
