Gas stations with Digital tire gauges?

[DJ_Peanuts22]

I usually goto the Petro Canada at Morningside/Ellesmere to inflate my tires with their digital gauge, but when I went to go check today, they replaced it with an analog one charging $1 for air.

Does anyone here know of any gas stations in the GTA that have digital tire gauges that offer free air?

I wouldn't trust a gas station gauge (digital or analog) if I were you. Make a massive $20 investment in an ANSI-certified analog dial gauge.

Got this one at Canadian Tire when it was on sale. Excellent quality, comes with a case with a built in lifetime battery.

Some idiot broke it.

Yup, Petro had the free going for a while now...wtf $1!?!?. I liked that digital gauge...

It's getting harder to find the free air nowadays...at least the Shell by my place charges 50 cents and it actually lasts for a while.

I have that Accutire device and I hate it. It's very difficult to make a proper seal in comparison to the brass analogue gauge devices.

Shell is the only gas station offering free air. No digital gauge.

You cannot trust those digital gauges on the pump. I know at least one pump is about 10 lb off.

last time i went to the old petrocan at hwy/kennedy they have free digital pump for free...accuracy would be another issue

The convenience in owning my own the ease in checking my tires, anywhere at any time ...

Well worth the convenience rather than chasing down where they still have a free one in this city. Just my opinion.
No more than $20, $10 or less on a good day.

The problem of using your own pump is it takes forever to do the job. I have one build in in my car, I don't really want to use it unless I have to.

[DJ_Peanuts22]

I'm really thinking about getting my own tire inflator at home. However, I don't want one that plugs into the cigarette lighter as I hear they kinda slow to inflate a tire.

What would these typically cost? What's a good brand to consider?

I can budget up to a maximum of $100.

Do ANSI-certified digital gauges exist too?

Just came across this at Canadian Tire... is this a good gauge?

Instead of spending money on gauges, why not spend $15 and get a little compressor that runs off your 12v socket? If your just topping off a deflated tire its really all you need. When I swamp my winters it usually takes about 5-10 minutes to get the tires up to the correct psi.

I bought one just yesterday for $15. Not the fastest way of filling up, but I do it in my garage and not at a gas station. The unit has a built in gauge.

I have one of those digital psi gauges, and they are crap. Old school brass all the way.

5 to 10 minutes for all 4 tires? Or, per tire.
If it is for all 4 tires, can you tell me what the brand/model is and where you bought it? Thanks.
