Filling your tires with nitrogen to improve fuel economy
By David Maillie
This is actually becoming more and more popular as now many tire and repair shops are offering to fill your tires with nitrogen instead of air.Yes, for only a few dollars per tire (actualprices we have seen can vary from $3-4 up to $11 per tire) you can have the usual air replaced with pure nitrogen.The purpose behind this is that nitrogen is a heavier gas and inert (non explosive or combustible at normal operating temperatures) so it creates a safer and more stable environment.This better ensures proper tire inflation and better fuel economyas slight variances in tire pressure can have fairly big effects on fuel economy (from 3-10 percent or more depending on how far off and how many tires are effected).

Yes, nitrogen is a natural component of air.About 70 to 80 percent of the air we breathe is nitrogen.The rest is comprised mostly of oxygen about 20 to 21% and hydrogen.Both hydrogen and oxygen are combustible and much less stable than nitrogen.So, if there were a higher concentration of either oxygen or hydrogen the air we breathe could become explosive on its own.So the theory is that 100% nitrogen will lower the temperature inside the tire during normal driving and will hold a more sure pressure for longer.This has actually been proven and a known fact for quite some time as most planes have nitrogen filled tires.
In the past there have been plane crashes and explosions linked to natural air.So, nitrogen has been used and there have been fewer problems associated with the tires.Nitrogen has also made it so the tires and wheels require less maintenance and last longer.In airplane tires studies have shown that pure nitrogen keeps its correct tire pressure 40% longer than regular air.This has also recently been proven in car and truck tires.Many large trucking and freight hauling firms have started using nitrogen to fill their tires as it can also make tires last longer (as nitrogen reduces moisture in the tires which will greatly reducethe chances of corrosion over time) and have a more even wear pattern (as long as other elements are operating normally like alignment, brakes and similar).
So, for a few dollars per tire you can now go to your local PepBoys, AAA or similar service center and they will fill your tires with nitrogen.This is best when used on new tires, not used tires.They will also give you the trendy green tire caps signifying to other drivers that you have had nitrogen in your tires.It is a novelty idea and worth it at a few dollars ($3 to $4), but shop around as some service stations and new car dealers are looking at this as a potential new profit source and are charging $10 or more dollars per tire for this service.With just a few phone calls you will easily find someone that will do it for much less.Just like any automotive service you should always call around and shop the prices of any repair or service as you can save a lot of money.
