Question:
If I have this, do I need a separate tire gauge? And does it need to be plugged in to use the tire gauge alone?

Hey Jackie! The gauge on the Performance Tool Portable Tire Inflator # PT75NJ will work without plugging it into 12V power. You don't need another tire gauge if you don't mine pulling this out each time to check the pressure.
Personally, I would pick up a small gauge like the # TMG-042-39 or # TM64SR you can toss in the glove box so you don't have to pull out the compressor anytime you want to check your tire pressure.
