Free Air Goes Paid as Gas Stations Adopt Coin Devices
Inflation pushes service stations to replace free air with Nik-O-Lok Coin-Air machines. Since Pittsburgh first trialed the system a year ago about 500 units now operate in Pittsburgh Philadelphia Detroit and New York areas. Stations save on electricity and maintenance while sharing profits with Nik-O-Lok. Some operators say free air deters misuse but others warn it triggers fights and prompts proposed bans. Public officials in Hempstead plan hearings on June 27 to consider outlawing pay air.
