You can use the same gauge for both, as long as you don't mind mixing 
some gas with your oil and vice versa.

It's best to get a gauge that you use right up close to its max. Most gauges 
have an accuracy rated at some % of full scale so 5% of 30 psi is 1.5 psi of 
error, but 5% of 60 psi is 3 psi error. I was lucky enough to find a 30 psi 
gauge.
