A user may untar a compressed (gzipped) tar file with:
tar -zxvf <filename>
The z flag instructs tar to use gzip. A seperate gzip pipe is not required.
Of course, the v flag is not necessary, just makes gzip quite talkative
DanielB is quite correct when he suggests that a .tgz file may be untarred with -zxf switches (only).

gzforce
GZFORCE(1) General Commands Manual GZFORCE(1) NAME
gzforce - force a '.gz' extension on all gzip files SYNOPSIS
gzforce [ name ... ] DESCRIPTION
gzforce forces a .gz extension on all gzip files so that gzip will not compress them twice. This can be useful for files with names trun- cated after a file transfer. On systems with a 14 char limitation on file names, the original name is truncated to make room for the .gz suffix. For example, 12345678901234 is renamed to 12345678901.gz. A file name such as foo.tgz is left intact. SEE ALSO
