Bill,

The whole thing is a rip off at these prices, but no one else makes a
set up like this, I looked pretty hard and finally choked down the
bill.  Having the hose made locally is a good idea, but you are still in
it $140.

I still (obviously) think it is worth it, I never understood the
rationality of a red light coming on to tell you that you have just
destroyed your engine!  I much prefer knowing that I am NOT destroying
my engine.  All five cars I own now have an oil pressure gauge.
