- Why don't you look at some of the analog gauges that are available for auto
- racing. The one that I use at the track is 0-60 PSI, has a leak-down button
- and works accurately at all temperatures. If it can take the abuse at the
- track it can susrvive your glove-compartment. The one that I bought is $25.89
- at Pegasus Auto Racing Supplies, the protective cover is $5.95. Pegasus's
