Air Pump @ your local GasStation

[gerbil]

I was @ my parents place in scarborough and noticed that my tires needs to be topped up with Air. Sad to say that a number of gasstation has been charging $0.25 for air that by the time your done pumping air you'll probably spend about $1.00.

Anywayz, I used to live by North York - Yonge & Finch to be exact. I, sometimes, drive to Yonge & 401 @ Petro Canada where they have the sweetest Air Pump. All you need to do is press the button to the disired pressure and it would stop when the air reached it's limit. And the best part is that it's FREE.

Does anybody know where else in toronto I can find this sweet service??

Thanks.

I beleive this is the same type of pump at my new PC at the corner of Goreway & Queen St (Hwy7). Its a digital machine where you select the pressure & pump. It will automatically stop when done and the best part its free!!!!!!!!!

At Yonge and Weldrick W the Petro Can has the new airpump, free of charge.

Many gas station in scarborough offer free air.
A few came to my head right away, Shell at Passmore & Kennedy, Brimley & Finch, and both Cdn Tire & Shell at McCowan & Sheppard.

The pumps all used to be free

Now
Esso - all stations I've been to (KW/Sauga) all charge $$
Sunoco - mostly, but they claim it goes to donations if I recall
Petro - still free, kudos
Cdn Tire - free I believe
GTO - not sure

I refuse to pay for those

i got my own air pump at home .... now i can pump it in my garage when it's -20 outside. Sweet. They go for $10 and up at Canadian Tire, way better than doing it at the gas stations.

i find the gas station pumps are nice a quick compared to the canadian tire DIY pumps, but the CT pumps are much more convinient. I hate goign to a gas station just to get air, and sometimes windows cleaned w/o purchasing gas...

anyhow i find many air pumps in gas stations don't work properly, is this just me or what? it almost seems as if the rubbed near the connector doesnt seal properly aroudn the valve of my tires, and it leaks more air than it puts in! anyone else have this problem?!

I had that problem aswell. Sunoco works the best for me. Considering how much profit oil companies make, you'd think they would upgrade many of their gas stations.

air should be free but crappy tire always has some form of pump that you can throw in your trunk for $10. Having a pump is well worth it if you ask me. Comes with adapters to pump up soccer & basket balls as well.

imo, i think most r PAYpumps...25c ...well maybe 50 50 get one of those portable cig plug in type pump devices at crappy tire and u can pump in ur driveway when ur tires r low!

I have a Bonair pump from costco, works great and can do it in your garage and have true cold tire pressure instead of having to drive out to a gas station where the pressure in the tire will be higher by the time you get there.
