Filling tires

[medimus]

I'm old enough to remember some things that you younger whippersnappers probably don't.  For example, I remember a time when gas stations had air for filling tires for free.  Yes, FREE.  You just drove up to the pump, and at one end of the pump island there was a hose on a retractable reel that you pulled out, brought it around to each of your tires, and filled them.  For FREE.  Nowadays, though, you have to drive over to a dispenser that for a dollar gives you just enough time to fill three of your tires. Well, that's inflation for you.
