Tire Pressure Gauge Question.
Last night I decided to check the tire pressure.
I have a mechanical and a digital one. So I decided
to try both. Both gave me dfferent numbers.
Now I feel a little uneasy. Which one should I believe?
Anyone can reccomend an dependable gauge?
Thanks,
Mike...

I have a regular old style white bar pops out with numbers... not digital. I had a new digital but it kept giving me different numbers on the same tire which got old fast.
Not sure what brand the gauge is since it has a Honda logo on it, which I thought was pretty cool, so I bought a couple

Do you have butterfingers, and let air out of the tire while trying to get the pressure? 
You can drop 1 psi easily that way, 1 psi of mechanical error, and 1 psi of human error (reading the gauge) could set you off 3 psi.
Anything more than that and I would start to worry.
I'd go with whatever one gives consistent results.
Gou around the car 2x, and if one gives you the same numbers each time, go with it.
