I usually pump a mixture of 78% nitrogen into my tires.

True, let me reword myself then.

Put nitrogen in your tires if your behicle is made by:
Airbus
Boeing
McDonald Douglas

OR

The operation of your vehicle requires the use of IR thermometer gun to assure the proper tire temperature.

I recently saw a sign at my local gas station at the air pumps. It said that it was illegal not to offer free air to fuel customers.
Sweet, found a link and quote:

(1) Existing law requires every service station in this state to
provide, during operating hours, water, compressed air, and a gauge
for measuring air pressure, to the public for use in servicing any
passenger or commercial vehicle, as defined. Existing law provides
that the failure of an owner or manager of a service station to have
adequate water and air facilities for use by the public for 5
consecutive working days constitutes a rebuttable presumption that
the owner or manager has intentionally violated these provisions. An
intentional violation of these provisions is an infraction
punishable by a fine not to exceed $50 per day.
This bill would require that these air and water services be made
available at no cost to customers who purchase motor vehicle fuel, as
defined. The bill would require service stations to place and
maintain a specified sign regarding these services.

Text <-- not where the quote came from, but a funny read on it.

P.S. This is for CA
