You can buy the cheapest pump with a gauge at performance for $10 on sale. I think the OP needs a pump.

It would cost maybe 50 cents to air up at a convenience store. Some stores have air machines that take, as an alternative to coins, a daily code that you can punch in. If that's the case you can get the code from the clerk after you buy whatever qualifies you for a free shot of air.
I don't trust those pumps. They emit air way to fast, and don't work with a presta valve. Besides, 50 cents a week to air up your tires is way too expensive!
