Am I gaining anything by using non-ethanol gas on my Bronco?
Bronco:
1994 5.0l
265,000 miles
Reason for the query:
$2.91gal vs $4.45gal (non-eth)
Is it financially worth it?

Better gas mileage and easier on the fuel system. But the price difference is the real issue...

I'd be runnin pump gas for that. Maybe not fill it up all the way, that way you are burning up most of it.

Ever since it became unreliable; I only fill the tank halfway.
That way; if the Bronco broke down, I won't have $120 sitting in the tank.
$60 of it would go to food.

So the Bronco decides to have rod/bearing issue.
Started out faint and slowly got louder as the days pass.

I run 15W40 in all my old stuff & diesel. I buy it gallons at a time.
Old stuff doesn’t seem to care and is a little quieter.

The Bronco factory oil gauge died.
Coincidence?
Or do I not longer have oil pressure??😬

Wouldn't surprise me if you ran it almost out of oil at some point on account of dead gauge.

Oil pressure sender.
Single wire connection typically.
I’m assuming you have a Windsor block - it will be on the front lower drivers side, either directly on the block or on an extension.
Type in your Bronco details on an online auto parts site and it should bring up a photo of it for you.
Lots of YouTubes for testing them.
After that look at wiring and then the gauge. If you have more gauges out, look at fuses.
Good luck

Yeah; I replaced that when I replaced the timing chain a couple of years ago.
That's just for the factory gauge, correct?

If that's not working; I can still have oil pressure, correct?

Yes.
But, troubleshooting will give you answers.

Add mechanical guage to verify.
But dropping the pan and putting rods and mains in with the engine in the truck is not that big of a deal.

You can get into a 6.2 gasser for that kinda money. I do think I would lean that way.
