The local Toyota place will fill all the tires with nitrogen for $30.
Is it worth it? Thoughts?
Well, consider this - regular old air is 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 1%
other gases and water vapor.
The advantage of nitrogen is that it won't diffuse through the rubber
because the molecule is bigger.
Personally, air is cheaper and mostly nitrogen anyway.
Hadn't looked at it that way. What I'd be doing is paying $30 for a
change of 22%. Hell, I'll probably be paying a lot more for 'change'
when my next income tax bill comes in.

Costco does it for free. And they just had $70 on 4 michelins.
Yeah, but they've got the best pizza and Metamucil in town, including
Chicago.
