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.
This is not a new technology as it has been used for many years by commercial airlines as well as in NASCAR cars.The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) mandates that nitrogen gas be used in all commercial aircraft tires to eliminate the possibility of water vapor freezing at high altitudes which happens with air filled tires.The NASCAR teams use nitrogen in the tires of their racing cars because the tire pressure fluctuates less than it does with air.
How can using nitrogen gas in your vehicle’s tires save you a serious amount of money?
Firstly, you don’t need to buy new tires to make the change, your present tires will do just fine. If you use nitrogen in your tires you can improve your vehicle’s fuel efficiency and save a lot of money over time. Nitrogen gas 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 these times of record high gasoline prices you will realize significant savings on all your driving for many years to come.
How can using nitrogen gas, in your vehicle’s tires also improve our environment?
By using nitrogen gas in your vehicle’s tires instead of air, it will help to better maintain proper tire air pressure. This optimizes tire road contact, reducing tire/road resistance as well. As a result, fuel economy is increased and less exhaust emissions will enter the atmosphere. You could say that by going green you’re also saving green, greenbacks, that is.
How can you do your part to help the American economy reduce its dependence on foreign oil?
Current research figures show 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 an amazing saving of almost four trillion gallons of gasoline a year!
For more research and information 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 info and 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 a few important points on how you can save fuel and at the same time lessen green house gas emissions by not driving on under inflated tires, whether you’re using air or nitrogen gas in them.
Firstly, check your vehicle owner’s manual for the optimum tire pressure.
Measure tire pressure accurately with a tire gauge as a visual tire inspection is not reliable.
Measure tire pressure only when they are cold. It’s best to 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.
