a portable solution often not talked about on here are co2 tanks. not because co2 is a better gas to fill your tires with, but because it would last a very long time in a car application. no electricity to worry about, and i suspect it would cost you about $25 every two years to fill if you're just topping off from time to time.
these tanks also have regulators that would make it easy to add small increments of air. i also use an ARB air chuck with a pressure gauge on the nozzle. makes things really easy if you don't mind the higher cost.

this is the exact air gauge i use.

Just a connivence factor - ability to top off air in my garage w/o driving to gas station. The tank you posted is WAY too extreme for my usage of most likely 2/3 times a month. Main concern - the power it draws from the cig light power outlet / being too high for car. (Need to verify in manual tonight - but 12V seems like alot of power being drawn...

Again - question above, which one do you use?
Gotta just quickly check manual and voltage capacity of the cig lighter. Blowing a fuse - by using this wouldn't be worth it me.
