Nitrogen inflated tires for gas milage.
 
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14121979/ An interesting article about using nitrogen in your tires ....

People are stupid. Just check the air pressure in your tires regularly, and you won't have the loss of mileage that you get when you're running around in an Explorer w/ 12 psi of pressure in the left front. :roll:

Also, the *only* benefit of nitrogen is that the pressure increases more linearly than wih plain air due to the water vapor in air. But since we live at 4000+ feet and have almost no humidity, it's not like there's much difference here. Plus, linear pressure increase is only a big deal on the race track... air pressure shouldn't go up enough on the street to really even notice.

(IB nitrogen made my car roll. ;) )

For those of you not interested in Nitrogen, don't forget to have the winter air let out of your tires and summer air put in!! :rolleyes:

My tires are filled with 78% nitrogen... from the factory. :rolleyes:

I want helium in my tires. Reduced unsprung weight FTW!

Go with hydrogen... it's lighter, and has the potential for Hindentire like results.

:manatee:

With my current car luck, H2 would definatly be the bomb! :)

I fill my tires with NOS yo.

Quoted for troof.

Buying pure nitrogen for your tires has no real benefit unless you are managing a professional race team.

Laughed out dead?

JonnydaJibba 2006-08-04 11:50 AM

Loud even discluding over doses.

M3n2c3 2006-08-04 10:02 PM

We've already been over the LOLed vs. LedOL debate. (Technically it would be Laughed Out Loud). :P
