However ...You are correct and the Cop has it wrong. However Nitrogen does not seep out as fast as air. About 80% slower. So the tire will be properly inflated longer. You lose 1 mpg per 2 pis under inflated. Maybe $300.00 a year at $3.00 a gal. The idea is sound. You can save the money by checking your tires weekly. However know one does. So it becomes a good investment. 40,000 people are injured a year from blowouts from under inflated tires. Bottom line check your tires weekly. Or you can use nitrogen and the pressure will stay safe until your next service (oil change)when it is checked. If you buy the nitrogen from the place you get service you have no more worries about tire pressure you will save some money on gas and your tires will last longer because they had the correct pressure. People making clams of more are just wrong.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6457515953341334959.post-15448474741656498372007-08-18T21:46:00.000-04:002007-08-18T21:46:00.000-04:00Thanks, Anon.

I was going to add that to the end of my post, but I forgot about it and had to go turn on the LC/MS or something like that. <br><br>Thanks, too, for the numbers to go along with the underinflation of tires. I'm no physicist, but I do know that having tires properly inflated means that there is less rubber "dragging" on the ground and thusly less resistance to your car moving forward, so keeping tires inflated is the true trick in lowering gas consumption and increasing mileage.the iNDefatigable mjenkshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12761003604210840898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6457515953341334959.post-71924635177751669462007-08-18T21:47:00.000-04:002007-08-18T21:47:00.000-04:00Oh, and as anon says...check your tire pressure. ...Oh, and as anon says...check your tire pressure.
