I suppose actual money will go the way of the dinosaurs, and then credit cards will go away one day. It will all be face recognition.DeniseinVAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08494518513936310345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688207620251526295.post-51328610146036783342019-09-22T05:38:24.151-06:002019-09-22T05:38:24.151-06:00Yes it is unfortunate that gas stations charge for...Yes it is unfortunate that gas stations charge for compressed air because years ago it was no charge. We have a small compressor that plugs into the car’s cigarette lighter slot, which is how we fill any low tires. Nice that someone helped and didn’t accept payment as it shows there are good people all around.Beatrice P.

My last thee cars have come with electric pumps which fit into the car's auxiliary socket (ie what used to be for the 'cigar lighter'). Air used to be free at garages here too Ostensibly only for customers of the garage but of course everyone ignored that so, as the garage wasn't getting custom because of it, they started charging.
