Not only can travelers save money on gasoline by replacing the air in their vehicle’s and RV’s tires with nitrogen gas, they can save money on their every day driving as well. Research shows that drivers can improve their gas mileage by over three percent when they use nitrogen in their motor vehicle’s tires.

How can using nitrogen gas in your vehicle’s tires save you a lot of money?

First of all, you do not need to buy new tires to make the change, your present tires will be fine. By using nitrogen gas in your tires you can improve your vehicle’s fuel efficiency and save a lot of money in the process. Nitrogen in your tires also improves your vehicle’s handling and extends the life of your tires so you will have to replace them less often. There is no question that in this era of record high gasoline prices you will reap significant savings on all your driving for many years to come.

How can using nitrogen gas in your vehicle’s tires also benefit our environment?

By using nitrogen gas instead of air in you vehicle’s tires, it will help to better maintain proper tire air pressure. This optimizes tire road contact which reduces tire/road resistance. Because of this, the fuel economy is increased and less exhaust emissions enter into the atmosphere. You might say that by going green you are also saving green, greenbacks, that is.

How can you do your part to help America’s economy reduce its dependence on foreign oil?

Current research shows that if every driver in the United States replaced the air in each of their vehicle’s tires with nitrogen gas, they would improve their gas mileage by over three percent. This translates into a whopping saving of almost four trillion gallons of gasoline per year!

For more information and research data on the growing use of nitrogen gas in motor vehicles’ tires including those of commercial carriers, visit Get Nitrogen at their website, GetNitrogen.org. In addition to the research, you will find a growing list of registered dealers located in the United States and Canada that can replace the air in your tires with nitrogen.

Here are some important points on how you can save gas and reduce green house gas emissions at the same time by not driving on under inflated tires, whether you are using air or nitrogen gas in them.

Firstly, check your vehicle owner’s manual for the optimum tire pressure.

Use a tire gauge to accurately measure tire pressure. A visual tire inspection is not reliable.

Only measure tire pressure when they are cold. You should wait approximately three hours for the air inside your tires to cool down before measuring the tire air pressure.

Lastly, and probably the most important point, always check the air pressure in your vehicle’s tires at least once a month.
