I bought an electric (120 VAC) pump about 20 years ago because all of the gas stations went to non-free air and most of the pumps didn't work anyways. $20 for an electric pump really works out well instead of putting in a bunch of quarters when the seasons change.

I've heard about the pumps that run off the cigarette lighter and that sounds like a great innovation because you can use it on the road or help someone else out if they just need enough air to get to the next exit.

I got my car lighter pump at CVS and used a 40% coupon. I have had it for about 5 years now and it's perfect. Never had a problem. I too got sick of having to drive to the gas stations where either the free pump doesn't work or having to deal with a bunch coins and a time limit. Pep Boys did/does give free air, but it's much more convenient having your own pump.
