Free by state law

Connecticut requires free air. Connecticut law (C.G.S. §14-325a) requires every licensed gas station to provide a free air compressor for tires whenever it's open, no purchase needed. Coin-operated machines may charge only after hours; a station with only coin machines must give you coins or a token. Larger stations (10,000+ gallons a month) must post a sign. Read the rules.
