Of course I realize a tire pressure gauge is inexpensive, etc., but I long for the days when filling tires with air at a service station was free AND the inflation areas had devices where you could preset tire pressure to be achieved (reached when the bells stopped clanging!!).
Now you put a quarter in and the air is manually inflated at a pace so rapid it very quickly and significantly overinflates auto tires.
Question: is there a sequence where after the air starts flowing I can rapidly inflate four tires (they are all a bit low on my Chevy Malibu) AND quickly check the pressure on my dashboard information system for each tire?
Or should I simply overinflate a bit (it happens quickly) and then after each tire is over inflated, go in the car, get updated pressure readings and then release some of the air to achieve approximate spec?
I'm thinking there is a way to do this without a gauge of my own (or on the station's air machine), I just don't know the sequence.
Thanks in advance for any guidance (even if it's "buy a darn gauge of my own").
