My old car had an oil pressure guage and by the time it dropped, the crank was already having a feast on my bearings.

Oil pressure can also tell you if there is a masive need for a filter Change and the basic state of the engine just by comparing what you see "Today" compared to yesterday or normal. I agree that it's just bling unless you are getting up there in HP..

True!

Another thing I forgot to mention. Our cars have a warning light if the pressure drops to an unsafe level, that's one more reason you don't need a guage.

If you really want to fill a pillar with gauges. Get something good like Fuel Pressure, Wide Band O2, Oil Temp, etc....Just something that your car can't tell you that might be good to know.
