That surprises me as Scion = Toyota and anybody thats ever priced a used Camry
has seen Toyota's magic at work.
I had a Kia Optima as a rental once. It was a decent car, gas mileage was not
its high point (about 24mpg with a 4cyl) but better than a Chevy Cobalt (also
4cyl) I had (about 20mpg, yuck!) and I drove the stink out of it. Decent power,
I had it in San Francisco and it had plenty to pull the hills there.
Suzuki also makes a decent product but is underrated in my opinion. The Vitara
is surprisingly a good woods truck. My Dad had a Chevy Tracker which was just a
rebadged Vitara (you could even buy parts from the Suzuki dealer and save
money) and it was excellent in the woods. In fact the Tracker was MUCH better
in the woods than his Jeep Liberty which is "Trail Rated". I dunno what trail
they rated it on but we dragged the Liberty about everywhere we went last
November.

It's interesting, awhile back I got a thing from one of my banks trying
to get me to buy a new car so they could be kind enough to collect
interest from me, and I noticed they had a few stipulations on some
car
makes that they wouldn't loan money on, Scion was on the list, along
with suzuki, KIA, and that other korean one that I don't think was
around long after I got the ad, and a number of other makes with
questionable dealer support.
I wish I had kept the ad, it was rather telling of which car companies
just weren't doing it.

Temperature changes will affect the nitrogen the same. The real gain is no
moisture but to "get there" you need to fill & bleed out the nitrogen 3 - 4
times so that all of the air is purged out of the tire.

Yep, I think I'm going to look around the Tulsa area for nitrogen fillups.
Being more inert than the common air from compressed air pumps, it's a lot
less likely to be affected by temperature changes. Anyone know of any
place in the Tulsa area that can fill up tires with nitrogen?
Best,

actually get nice tires for the first time in my life (rather than store
