80 mpg! Nitrogen Works ;)

You didn't give yourself any credit for operator skill.

 

Tyres? Where are you located?

 

Tyres, a bit south of Birmingham lad!!!

 

Oh ok... do they tax vehicles based on engine displacement in the UK?

 

Put twice as much N2 in and see if you get twice the improvement.

 

Wait 'til you try helium.

 

Hydrogen is the bomb!

 

Nice ride, Sagebrush.

I think everyone's on to something brilliant. Fill the cabin of the car with helium, wear an oxygen mask. 100 mpg for everyone.

 

If it works for cars, it should be even more effective on airplanes, right? Imagine how much fuel could be saved!

 

I filled the cabin of my car with 80% Nitrogen and also 20% Oxygen so I won't need an Oxygen mask. It's great combination, I recommend it.

 

I wonder if you would get a higher pitched tire noise?

Brilliant! It's important not to be too airy but rather err on the side of caution, so best that you put in a little O, too. I will attempt N let you know how it goes.

 

I would highly recommend O2 and N2 instead of O and N.

 

I have no idea why you think it's the Nitrogen in the tyres. I just use cheap air (which does have quite a bit of Nitrogen in it!) and managed 80 mpg on a run of 16 miles from Harrogate to Leeds center. There was a nice slope down into the city as you can see

This is 80 mpg UK which is about 65 mpg US.

You just have to drive nice and steady. If I can do it anyone can!

 

I like to eat Mexican food before I drive. That way I'm full of gas and therefore lighter. As a bonus, the Prius cabin is filled with lighter CH4. It improves MPG and I swear I get an extra 3.14% boost out of it.

The only thing is the my Prius no longer qualifies as AT-PZEV.

 

Must be the nitrogen in the tyres DEFINITELY NO!
Earth's atmosphere contains roughly (by molar content/volume) 78.09% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, a variable amount (average around 0.247%, National Center for Atmospheric Research) water vapor, 0.93% argon, 0.038% carbon dioxide, and traces of hydrogen, helium, and other "noble" gases.

Earth's atmosphere is 79% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, plus some trace gases. Putting pure nitrogen inside the tires is nice, but it does nothing to change the mass of the vehicle. In effect, nitrogen inside tires has little or no effect.
