What would you choose?

I actually did fly with only one instrument for years

Glory,

Since you posted this on the IMC thread, I take it that you did not mean engine instrument. In VFR, I agree, the oil pressure gauge (the one we normally don't look at more than a minute after starting the engine) is the most critical.

I am also assuming that my wristwatch doesn't count as an instrument.

Byron, she's asked about the MOST important gauge, not the least important one.

Correct ... we disagree, assuming that the airplane is not a glider.

I've had static failure. Having the GPS-moving map covers for a lot if you can call that an "instrument."
