[QUOTE="Jipster, post: 164007, member: 97"] Gosh.... dunno how many times we've discussed about this.... but this time I want to dive in with my 2 cents.... I think nitrogen does what its supposed to do. Its just that most cars and most drivers are unlikely to feel the difference. Its a tweak when everything else is [I]optimised[/I] like in racing. Aslo in racing mere seconds count as that half second advantage accumulates every lap. In normal driving or even occasional track days..... maybe not. Another way to look at it is the same way a lot of people look at K&N panel filters.... most will agree that it doesnt do anything.... maybe a little tiny bit (even then I may be imagining things).... so the argument shifts to.... no need to change filter for a very long time..... [I]maybe[/I] even save some money in the process. So the same would go for nitrogen..... instead of checking pressures once a week , check only once a month..... I know for the tweakers among us once a month is a very long time twiddling your thumbs not doing anything to your car LOL! There is a more important issue here actually, something we've missed..... how sure are we that we are getting the real deal.... pure nitrogen? Can we tell the difference? Whats to stop the unscrupulous from givin you crap? Bottomline? If you want to go the nitrogen way make sure you get it from some place you trust so you wont get screwed. [/QUOTE]
