Actual cold pressure levels are more important, for sure.

Yup this is exactly why I asked the question as I wondered how other people compensate for it.
Then again it was about 20C this morning when I filled them up.

I was a die hard for carrying my own gauge until I figured that it's surely also compensating for a particular pressure at which it's calibrated so the two would fight each other either way and therefore the RDC seemed like a more reliable constant.
Now the local garages all have these digital gauge setups where you enter the pressure first and then plug it in so it over inflates and then drops down to the level and I've just thrown chaos theory at it without questioning what it's compensating for.
However in summer they seem to be within .1 bar of what the RDC says so figured it was good enough. Now in winter it's about .3 out (higher) once I'm rolling.
