There are two other old air gauges out in the garage which I could try, the
accuracy of all three is unknown, I went looking to buy a new one: $45, no
thanks. This oil pressure was on a warmed up engine. I have never had the
oil light flicker if that means anything...

My engine is all stock, original, no major engine work, 47,000 miles.  being
a highschool student living only a couple miles from school I don't get good
mileage normally: 16-18 mpg. On these cold mornings I spend almost as much
time warming up than driving, but I'd rather use gas than use engine life by
driving it cold.  The car is capeable, as I got 33 mpg once on solid 70 mph
freeway driving.
