Yup,, & knowing this I am Still amazed when I check pressure on a tire that Doesnt have a car or a backhoe sitting on it, then put the weight of the vehicle on it, check it again & cant even see it on the gauge.
& Theres ANOTHER Variable,, gauges,, Ive had as many as 4, some, the very cheapest available, a "Truckers Gauge", heavier, longer, to go to higher pressures, with the head that can go inside of a dually setup, IIRC, 8 or 9 bucks, And a dial/needle with a release valve. The blasted "normal" gauges w/ the stick that slides out will often disagree by several pounds, then dang if they wont suddenly agree. I even went so far as to lube the stick on the truckers gauge w/ graphite,, still doesnt agree with the dial gauges. I have 2 of them, one holds the reading, the other,, ehh,, no.,but, so far, I trust the needle/dial gauges a lot more. I threw 3 of the cheapo stick gauges away just last week, Not only do they not agree with each other, sometimes they wont read the same if I take several readings, & yea, I know about getting them on square & not letting air bleed around them..
& Just What is WRONG with Overly Complicating things? YOu DO realize some of us Live just for that, right? Jeeze Louise! You tryin to take ALL the fun outta this stuff?
I LIke Complicated! Gimme complicated! Dont you dare take my complicated away..
