Just dont' get hit and you should be fine. Nitrogen is so flammable I'd be afraid to put it in my tires

QUOTEHis gas mileage was about 19 mpg when he purchased his five-cylinder 2005 Chevrolet Colorado. Now, with the engine broken in and new tires filled with nitrogen, he gets 20.5 to 22 mpg depending on whether he runs the air conditioner, he said.
It's a fact that any new vehicle will gain 1 to 1.5 mpg after it is broken in. And it happens whether you have Nitrogen in the tires or not.
I think it's bullshit myself. Just another way to soak a little bit more money out of the general public.
I'm always very skeptical when the spoksperson for this is the VP of marketing for a Tire Company.
