I'm not especially keen on gas station air
compressors, since most of the ones around here either
don't have dryers in the air lines or never bother
emptying the water out of them (you do _not_ want any
moisture of any kind in your tire air).  I have a
generic air bottle that I fill at my tire dealer or
the event site, which is generally dry and yields
consistent pressures.  I only see about 2 psi increase
at autocrosses.
