I have always carried around an emergency tire pump to inflate them. I read that many newer cars do not have sufficient voltage to power the stronger pumps. Does the Mazda have enough amperage?
I too will add my voice to the double stupidity of having the outlet unswitched and stashing it away in the console
I was taught that it is important that tire pressure needs be measured with cool tires. Running the car over to a gas-station pump would mean hanging out there til the tires cooled. Easier with a small pump.
The tire warning system is a plus. Mazda should also facilitate pressure maintenance by making it as easy as possible to top up one's tires to proper pressure.

The voltage will be battery voltage, (About 13) The current is up to 15 amps (The fuse) That should run a small air compressor. I believe the outlet in the back to the drivers side of the hatch is unswitched. It is also handy.
