When it comes to guages I subscribe to the advice of ole Ronnie Reagan - 'Trust, but verify'. Even if my good floor pump says I got 80lbs in the tire, I still use my hand to test the firmness. This is especially needed with presta valves - I can't count how many people I have watched 'think' they pumped up to 100lbs or so on just two strokes because valve wasn't actually engaged with the pump.
