Exactly the setup in California concerning free air supply for tires
(with purchase of gas according to the law) at all retail gas stations.
Idea is, soccer moms would rollover their Ford Explorers less if they
kept air in the tires.

Guess what, about a fourth of them are broken on any given day. Same
old story, "vandals" wrecked it, workin' on gettin' it fixed. Real
story, gas station owner ain't gonna fix somethin' that's not making
him money, to heck with the law. Guv'ment complaint number is a black
hole, as near as I can tell.
