A venturi works because air is compressable.  Fuel under presure in a hose
will not compress.  More likely you would presurize the oil tank with fuel.

A venturi after the buterfly in a peripheral port would allow for a vacum
signal in proportion to RPM.  This would also keep you from streaming oil
all over the inside of your manifold.  I don't know if this would mix very
well with the fuel/air, and you still have to figure out the ratio.

Actually a venturi works with incompressible fluids like water or gasoline
also.  Common example is a hose-end sprayer working off your water flow to
mix in insecticide or herbicide.
