Why would you get more paranoid if the display in is PSI?

Its a bit of a stupid question mate....how the hell would PFers know how your going to think!!??

I've got a SPA Dual Digital Gauge that shows it in PSI (you might even be able to change it into BAR) - all you've got to remember is 14.5/7 PSI = 1 BAR & vice versa! LOL!!

Only if you don't know what the normal operating values are, but that goes for bar as well

I worded that all wrong so I see how it sounds stupid. What I meant was more along the line of does the psi guage fluctuate more while driving which would have me watching it like a hawk all the time? Where the display on the bar one would fluctuate less? Im talking bollocks again are'nt I

Damn it why cant I manage to word things properly the past few days. Im sure I have an aneurysm

Still cant make my mind up anyway
