You're lucky mate our local one won't go over 50psi, I made them give me my money back!

Don't have to pay down here.
Don't think a machine containing cash would last long !

Regular gas station ones don't go high enough here, I have to go to the semi truck stops, or just do it at home.

There should be a sticker inside the door jam that gives the recommended tire pressures (at least if it was a US vehicle to start with).

Often the tyres as OEM in the 'States are not available / legal / cut it in the UK and the replacement tyres will not run at the stated pressures effectively.

I think it is a case of trial and error..........
