It's probably a vacuum gauge which some cars came with as an MPG meter. I
can't remember which one of my cars had this feature. I think it was an old
BMW. Anyway, the goal was to keep the needle to as high as possible. Running
high-RPM's dropped the needle. The bad thing was it encourages me to lug the
engine.


AC Cobras had reverse reading tachs so maybe this is from a kit.
