I have a small rechargeable air pump (not as big as a D cell flashlight) that recharges via USB and is good for cars and golf carts. Got on amazon for about $30. You can set the PSI (up to 50) and it will shut off when that pressure is reached. I find this much easier than worrying about finding a gas station with an air pump - free or not.

I also carry an air pump in the car that plugs into a power outlet That way I always have air available. I've used this one when I've had a flat tire (with not too bat a leak) and would top it off, drive a ways, top it off, drive a ways, etc. until I could get to a good location to change the tire or get it repaired.
