The pump had a sensor and would cut off when it hit the right tire pressure

Guess that’s how they justified it. This was in Virginia. In Georgia, I can’t recall ever seeing one that charged for the air.

When did paying for air to pump a tire become a thing? **

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

Because you are paying for the compressed version like a sucker

But then you have to pay to buy a pump!

a while ago, thus the reason I have portable inflators in every car
Vienna_Hokie • 05/28/24 10:22 AM ET
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.
