Mychailo,
I dont't think 1/2 mile is enough driving distance to heat up the tires I suggest 3-5 miles. I say this because the Shell station where I get air (it's still free) is only 1/2 mile from my house. I measured the same tire pressure at this station as I did in my garage after the car has been sitting all night.
The way I measure is to check the pressure for each tire early in the morning in my garage and write down the reading. The first thing that I do at the gas station is measure each tire again and write it down. I check for psi differences in each tire. Then I fill to the correct pressure making sure to adjust for the differences.
For example: If the right front tire measures 29 psig at home and 33 psig at the gas station air pump I still put in 4 psig and measure it at 37 psig when I'm done.
I don't have to do this anymore since I switched to the Shell station with the free air.
