I have 2006 225 ETECs with I-Command gauges on my offshore rig. There's a memory device that plugs into the NMEA network and the I-Command gauges calculate GPH and fuel burned. It's accurate to within 1 gallon for both engines.

To my knowledge, these aren't stock gauges and they are only for the ETECs

You can also look up FloScan. They make an accurate set of gauges.
