There is very little right with this picture. At least I know my tank is (mostly) full.

My stepper guages are all out of whack too.
fuel guage doesn't work in winter, neither does speedometer.

There's a lot going on here that concerns me

Credit where it's due though, the oil pressure is on point.

Either the sending unit, or the gauge on the cluster died. My money is on the cluster. Get you one of those Bluetooth obd adapters for your phone. I use the Torque app. And hopefully Ford(that's what it is right) included fuel level as one of the data stream points.

Reminds me of the Silverado I drive at work. I took this picture at a stop light when it was idling, foot off the gas, at what my ear tells me was about 800 RPM. When the speedometer started doing the same thing and I told them "I can't be held responsible for any speeding tickets, oh and btw I love to hoon in other people's vehicles," the management decided to get the gauge cluster replaced.

Is that actually pressure? I would have assumed temp. Looks like an old GM truck though and I vaguely remember them having both...

Usually when I've seen oil temp gauges, it'll have numbers. I think if you've got an engine temp gauge, your oil gauge is more likely to be pressure. This one is pressure...after an oil change it takes a few seconds to come up. This is a Ford though, so naturally I don't have both.

Then surely it isn't a true pressure gauge, right? Otherwise it would fluctuate wildly depending on driving style/conditions. Normal operators of the vehicle would flip out. Much like if your temperature gauge were a true temp gauge.

Infinite fuel!

Yeah, I mean it's an electric gauge, right? You've got a sending unit going to the computer, which tells the gauge what to output. I'd imagine the computer smooths it out so it doesn't fluctuate, as you said.
