New digital free air pumps at Wawa are a breeze to use but environmentally friend, too.

Some Wawa locations recently replaced their traditional air pumps with new digital ones. These are more energy-efficient but also incredibly easy and technologically savvy.

And the air is still free at Wawa, which is a nice perk compared to other gas stations that can charge up to 75 cents or more for air for when your tire pressure is low.


Instead of wasting air by letting the pump run for a minute or two after you have filled all the air you need into your tires which are low on pressure, the sensors in these shut the flow of air off a second or two after you pull the hose away from the tire's valve stem. 

That is after it gets to the specific amount of pounds of air pressure you select, like 32 pounds, for example, since this is the general figure suggested for tires on many sedans today. The pump beeps to let you know you're filled up and ready to go.

  2. I cringed when my air pressure light came on because finding a place that has air is becoming harder and harder, not to mention needing to spend $2.00 or so! I Wawa had an air pump and couldn't believe it was free. I used one of these digital air pumps for the first time today and it was so easy! No more letting air out when trying to fuss with those stupid handheld pressure gauges or the one on the old system!

    Wawa just got a new fuel customer as I will now get my gas from them as well to say thank you for the new air pump!
