    you can say your better than the "joneses" with full electical. They may be just a tad faster reacting, but there is no problem with mechanical

    I run mechanical oil psi and water temp inside the car. Mechanical are accurate.

    Honestly, if you use good quality (Auto Meter, Stewart Warner) either is fine and very accurate.. I personally would go with electric mainly because of ease of installation and versatility..
