Default Having trouble finding high pressure air...

Hey guys... I've got an air tank for the autocross grid, and it's good for 125 psi. The only problem is that I can't find a gas station with a compressor good for more than 90 lbs. I'd like to get the tank close to full if I can, but I'm not really sure where I can look to find it. Where do you guys top off your tanks? Do I need to find a truck stop with an air line? Or do I need to find a garage that can fill me up? I don't have a compressor at home....
Thanks for the help.

Garage is going to be your best choice. When you fill up gas, ask one of the techs if they'll fill up your tank for a few $

truckstops have high press air. they run over 100psi in some of those truck tires.

my tow vehicle (Chev 2500 HD) specifies 80 psi in the tires; i go to the local truck stop for air....

good luck

I get good pressure at two gas stations and a Firestone store nearby. They're generally 110+ psi.
