Things You Don't See Anymore Part 3

True!

Costco here in Central Ohio has free air also. Some gas stations have "pay with credit card " air!!!!!! Pffff!!!!! Used to be free air at all stations!
I bought a cheap 3-gallon tank compressor from Harbor Freight. I fill up at home, despite free air being a requirement for gas stations here (for gas-buying customers). We have three cars in our family right now, so it sees use. With the weather changes recently I'm amazed how it can affect the pressure.
 
We have the air pumps at every filling station around these parts but none of them are free. They are free at Costco and BJ's.
We picked up a small air compressor that runs off 12 volt and keep it in the back. It works quite well, has an accurate electronic readout of tire pressure, and a bright LED light to shine on the tire in the dark. I thought it was a sweet deal for $27.

Sheetz and Giant Eagle Get Go stations around here have free air as well as some other places. They look at it as a way to bring customers in for free air and then they buy other stuff usually.
