The car dealership where I have my car serviced offers the " Branick Nitrogen Tire Inflation System" for about $10.00 per tire. Increased gas mileage is one of the benefits.

Buy yourself a 7-dollar tire gauge, and when you fill up, make a pit-stop over at the air hose. It'll take you all of 5 minutes to take care of your tires, save you possibly 100's of dollars a year in fuel, and no, you don't need nitrogen. The atmosphere already contains a lot of nitrogen, taking up that last few percent is BS...
Interested in a bridge?;) LOL

Yes "regular air" is about 75-78% nitrogen. And when you compress it and shoot it into a tire add quite a bit of water. A nitrogen fill is about 98-99% nitrogen and no water so there is definately a benefit. You can refill the tires with whatever you want (I am sure refills at the dealer are free though), you just lose the benefit if you go with normal dirty compressed air.

The only reason is you'll get better gas mileage in the long run because the tires will hold air longer because the nitrogen won't seep out as fast.

I wouldn't spend the money! It's probably a sales gimmick..
Experiments have shown that the tire pressure is the controlling factor in gas mileage rather than the gas used to inflate the tires.
