so stupid.

If you just keep your tires inflated properly, you'll see better mileage. About all that nitrogen does is keep the pressure from bleeding over time and allowing lazy people to forget about proper tire inflation.

I actually knew a guy who tried to fill his tires with helium once. He was a dumbass, and smoked more weed than anybody but mr furley.

Needless to say it didnt get his 86 Civic into the 14s like he thought it would

Well we've seen what lazy people do with regular air... they don't fill their tires to the proper pressure and we all suffer. I think this is a brilliant idea.
