Is Mityvac accurate as a Vacuum gauge?

I'm wondering if I can use my Mityvac/zitpopper to read vacuum or do I need a separate gauge for accuracy? Am on a budget and separate gauges seem to run around $30. The Mityvac seems to be reading low... around 12lbs when isolating the vacuum pump, but everything seems to be working ok.
