I haven't used a bike pump in half a decade. For anything.

Any gas station with a working pump.

I've done that in a pinch, to add a few psi before heading out.

Default Bike pump??? No way..

They always endup busting the seals as it's a bit too much work to get that much air at that pressure.

I got a rechargable compressor with a light that does the job nicely, check your local Walmart and stop using brute force!

Default Sears has electric ones

I think they're about $40 and you can either a 12V DC one for the car, or a 120V AC one for the house. I go the 120V AC one. It works well, but is LOUD. Not sure about the pressure guage accuracy, but it's useful for inflating just about anything.

B&D auto tire pump. Slower than station, faster than bike pump

Buy a cheap DC 12v pump...I bought a C&D one at Target for $10-20; takes about 10 sec per psi.
