Hmmm... it seems to me that three LEDs would do the job -- a
green one to show the engine was running, and a couple of red
ones to show when the engine was under or over speed.

But LEDs on the dash wouldn't have the same attraction for
customers that a dial-type tacho gives ;-)

As I said to someone else, I've never owned a vehicle where I
couldn't hear the engine and judge how it was going by the sound,
so I'm not really equipped to comment
