No gimmick. Science. Physics. etc. But, yeah, on a practical note, as none of us (well, few of us) are out there on public roads pretending to be doing laps at (insert race track of your choice here), the only real benefit we'll likely see is increased fuel mileage because our tires no longer have such a decrease in pressure because of temperature change. And, don't quote me on this, but I *think* I remember that nitrogen is a more dense gas (compared to our friend compressed air) so is more likely to hang around in the tire than the other stuff. And, for people who normally check their tires once a week or once every two weeks, that chore should be lessened as well, so less bending down and messing with dirty valve cap covers, etc. Best, Tom Sand Springs, OK At 11:26 AM 12/15/2005 -0500, you wrote: >Content-Disposition: inline > >If there's a Tire Discounters where you are, they exclusively use nitrogen >to fill all the tires they sell. > >I think it's a gimmick, though - you're not driving fast enough to really >take advantage of the properties of nitrogen filling. > >On 12/15/05, Kaleb C.
