Interesting that you mentioned this...I dont know about other states, but I just found out that in CA the air/water pump is free, even if it has a slot and signage for coin deposit. You have to ask the attendance, of course, and they would turn it on from the booth. I asked around and some say it's actually a law, but I think it's complimentary from the station. I've done this without trouble many times at many stations and without pumping gas first.
