If you do go to a station that charges for air, the quarter or two you pop in the machine goes to the station owner (not "Big Oil") who gets next to no profit for the gas they sell as it is. Station owners make their money either by running a mechanic's shop or a grocery mart, or both. The gas is generally just a way to attract customers for station owners because those profits go to the gas corporations. But Newt and FAKE News wouldn't actually want people to recognize that, <i>not when we can drillherdrillnowdrilldrilldrill for the enzymes making new oil a mile under our backyards</i>. PS: The free air is usually at stations that have an auto repair shop. The compressors are used to lift the cars and excess pressure is what you can use for your car or bike tires. The quick mart type gas stations are usually the ones that charge for air because they have a machine dedicated to just the air pump and/or car vacuum.
