Black XL Byrd at Mesa COSTCO

[Raymundo76]

Was pumping gas next to me. Owner was very happy w/50MPG; did not like going to dealer for N in tires. I do not think that is required. But was wondering if N is worth it; anybody?

Nitrogen is a huge waste of time and money.

Helium would be lighter; better milage

With what size helium filled tires would we need BLIMP drive mode?

what? This person goes to the dealer they bought the vehicle from to fill the tires with nitrogen when they get low?

am I reading this right?

I run 78% Nitrogen in my tires!

Maybe I should compress the exhaust from my friends oxygen concentrator????

Bottom line = nitrogen leaks out slower than oxygen because it's molecular size is 0.006 nanometers larger. Also Argon would be even better as it's molecular size is 0.064 nanometers larger.

It makes a difference in race vehicles, not so much on street cars.

How about Hydrogen?

I think this is accurate. I believe the pressure is less sensitive to heat with N, thus better for race cars who have hot tires and a few psi can make a difference.

Getting knee deep here with all gasses and nanometers. If memory serves me correct, but I could be wrong, good old air has worked well about 100+ years.

 

[RLmesc]

You are absolutely correct, as I said, but in race cars it matters and has been used for decades but it is only used by "good old boys' who win LOL
