they leak less, so the air pressure stay the same longer and it costs around $5 per tire or so.

There is some (limited) evidence nitrogen leaks more slowly, but this may be pure conjecture. The greatest advantage is to whoever is charging the $5-10 per tire, since before they were only getting a quarter for all four tires and the spare!

Nitrogen does not lose pressure the same as air. It will maybe and I mean maybe change 1 psi through 50 degress where as air will change 5-10 psi

You get about 1.5 more miles to the gallon compared to regular air.
It also doesn't lose pressure as fast as air does.
Only downside it is about 5 dollars per tire, while air is free.

It stabilizes the air pressure in your tires, and saves fuel and wear on the tires

the big advantage is that the miolecules are larger...which actually reduces the risk of rim leaks..

i heard from the news you get better gas mileage and the risk of air leakage or blow outs are reduced.
