I don't know any gas station that has free air. But everything else is good 😊
Thank you for your feedback! It is sort of common in PA. But here's something I found: lifehacker.com/where-to-get-free-air-for-your-tires-1850792700

Nice suggestion! Free air is relatively common at gas stations in PA. Also here's something I found: lifehacker.com/where-to-get-free-air-for-your-tires-1850792700
