My right front tire has a small leak. I was going to get it plugged (~$15) but then I thought I could maybe jack up the car, remove air from the tire, use a can of Fix-a-Flat (~$4), and then adjust the pressure back to stock. Do you think this would be a permanent solution? Or would I just be wasting my time? Thanks.

Fix a flat is more emergencies only in my opinion. It can cause your tire get off balance and make the car drive funny. Also, it's a pain for anyone who has to change the tire. I don't like to irritate those guys when they are so close to my car. They could get mad and scratch it or something. Bottem line, plug is always a better idea.
