Most gas stations provide compressed air for free? Whose Tardis are you flyin’, chump? 'Cause that damn sure ain’t been true in no part of Texas I ever been through in the past 40 years. (In the ‘70s, yeah, it was like that. But not for a long time.) And the busted-ass machines that used to steal a quarter before you found out that the hose leaked? They’re $2.00 now. For maybe enough air to fill the donut spare on a PT Cruiser. Maybe. (Oh, and the cashier inside the joint ain’t gonna sell you no quarters, you bring your own or keep walkin’.)
Buy the damn compressor and keep its battery charged. You’re going to need it sooner or later. OBTW, the plug-into-the-lighter-socket compressors can blow a fuse before they finish filling a tire, so if you think you’re going to get ahead of the game and use one of those, just be ready with spare fuses, too. And don’t even try putting in a heavier one, that’s a sure way to let the smoke out of the car’s wiring, and then you are completely effed.

@werehatrack Around here we have free air at WaWa stations and the compressors usually work with a pretty accurate gauge.
I also have the bonus of free air at my condo but I have to supply my own gauge.

Costco also has an unattended free air station for customers.
ProTip: They don’t check.
Sam’s Clubs are probably the same, but you might need to ask one of the mechanics if it isn’t outside.
