I wonder why some company doesn't begin to sell compressed

Am I wrong in my assumptions that it would do this?

Luxury cars now offer a great seating option for politicians.
These seats blow heated air onto their backside in the winter and
cooled air in the summer. *If sold to voters, though, the car
seats
are modified to just blow smoke up the voter's rump year-round


Air is about 78% nitrogen, the issue is removing the oxygen so you
need to pull a vacume first. They charge alot extra to inflate tires
wirh nitrogen, but how do they remove the oxygen, I dont think they do
at all.


I guess it depends where you buy tires. The local evil mom & pop place
doesn't charge a lot more or even more for that matter. They have a unit
similar to this in the garage:

By design a tire cant be fully deflated of air, air is 78% nitrogen,
so what is the true percentage of nitrogen in tires filed with
nitrogen, it will still contain alot of oxygen. But I guess if it
works its worth it.- Hide quoted text -

And I'd say it's just another scam to get more money out of unwitting
consumers. * Nitrogen would seem to have no compelling advantage.
Supposedly it means tires are less susceptable to pressure change with
ambient temp change, nitrogen will leak out slower, etc. * If you have
enough sense to check your tire pressure regularly, none of that
matters. * And if you don't, then I'd say nitrogen is a poor
substitute.- Hide quoted text -
