tHROW OUT THE STICK GAUGES. They're notoriously inaccurate.
AutoZone & Advance sell a dial gauge with about a 1' hose whip for about
$15. They have different names on them, but all have an orange
rubber-like housing. I've bought three of them. They all read
identically. And they have a nice bleed-down button, so you can
overfill just a little, then bleed down to accurately get the final
pressure.
