A agree but if you are willing to spend a few more bucks you can get a
real gauge. You will do as well with the tube and stick on the
inflator at the gas station as you do with the stick gauge and they
are notoriously bad.
What I do know is the Lincoln just says low tire and putting air in
the one with the lowest pressure will not turn it off. Based on
experimenting it seems one sensor triggers about 4 PSI different than
the others

I like the old stick gauge,I keep one in each vehicle, and its alot easier reading for me at least.

Tho on my last Baja trip with the truck I had Cooper A/T tires mounted before I left, While offroad I went to drop the air pressure on the sand and washboard roads finding out the new tires are rated 80 psi after it blew the stick out.
Holy crap 80psi who'd a thunk!

I got a dial style gauge from Napa that seems to be very accurate.

With what are you comparing it? I've got two dial styles and several sticks. None read the same
thing on a given tire. I guess the thing to do is take five readings and use the mean.
