T&T: nitrogen

[Frank Burrows]

Jeff:

I did some research on this for my automotive clients and there are no 
downsides to using nitrogen instead of regular air other than the fact that 
air is cheaper than nitrogen. But other than the cost, there are definite 
benefits to using nitrogen. I understand that nitrogen is used extensively 
in NASCAR and in aviation.

Automotive repair business are adding this service as profit generator and 
the degree of the benefits are likely to be exaggerated.
