Can you recomend a reliable manual tyre pressure gauge?

I use 3 modes of transport: a small van (tyre pressure 35psi) a motor scooter ( 25 & 30psi) & a cycle (80psi). I have tried 3 different tyre pressure gauges:- an analogue one; a small hand digital one & a 12v digital pump/gauge. Each gauge will give a different reading from the same tyre, often differing by 15%.

Not for all three types of tyre. Use a bicycle specific one for the bike. Use a barrel dial type for the vehicles.

Why is my new Honda Jazz EX CVT not remotely like the car you reviewed on your website? The ride in the back is atrocious.
I live in a country village and my nearest service station is about 15 minutes drive away. I find it almost impossible to check my tyre pressure when the tyres are cold (which is what I have been recommended)....
What's the most accurate tyre pressure gauge?
