If you have engines that are EFI, or anything from the last 15 years or so, odds are your engine already has fuel burn data coming out of the ECU. From there it is pretty easy to connect to a NMEA2000 network and just about any modern MFD will display and manage fuel burn data.
Depending on your engine/ECU you might be able to use a generic J1939 to NMEA2000 bridge, or you might need one from the engine manufacturer (more common with outboards).
For older engines, you need a device inline with your fuel feed (eg:
