hahaaha I wonder what we're putting in our tires anyway...I typically fill with about 75% nitrogen, 19% oxygen, plus a little water vapor, argon, and some other trace gases - helps the tires warm up faster that way - they're a bit flatter for the first 1/2 mile, then the tires warm up and the vapor expands, fully inflating the tires!
Don't get why anyone would pay for what we have about 80% of anyway.
