a while ago, thus the reason I have portable inflators in every car

not to mention the fact that when you need air, you are often not close to a gas station where you can pay for air. It was especially an issue in the Midwest during the winter, not unusual to go out in the morning and be down 10 psi

When did paying for air to pump a tire become a thing? **
RoswellGAHokie • 05/28/24 10:09 AM ET
Pays to repair vandalism**

Long time ago. I carry one of those pumps in my car that runs off a 12V

Just use a bicycle tire pump. Been doing that for years with my cars
Zanderhokie • 05/28/24 12:29 PM ET
Because you are paying for the compressed version like a sucker

Since Goober sold out to private equity

I bought some little air compressor on Amazon maybe a year ago. It works

Off and on forever

But then you have to pay to buy a pump!

I have that and a cordless impact wrench**
HokieDan95 • 05/28/24 10:26 AM ET
Impact wrench is a beautiful thing when changing a tire.

…switching from winter to summer air**
chumley • 05/28/24 10:21 AM ET
I've seen that for at least a couple decades.

The pump had a sensor and would cut off when it hit the right tire pressure
RoswellGAHokie • 05/28/24 10:25 AM ET
A Chevron station on Peachtree Rd in Brookhaven charged for air
Buckhead Hokie • 05/28/24 03:20 PM ET
Sheetz & Wawa have the free air.
s.mill hokie • 05/28/24 10:27 AM ET
Costco has free air.
