Yes, a little bit. But any air compressor will do the same thing. You get minimal air loss out of the hoses that just press onto the valve stem, like at the gas station. But unlike the huge gas station compressors, a portable 12v compressor delivers such low volume that it takes much longer to fill. I'd be annoyed with having to hold the thing on there for a few minutes.

So I just pump in a psi or two above what I'm targeting for, and release.
