Here are the real facts directly from the Auto and Tire industry folks that further support Palm Beach County's nitrogen tire inflation program.<BR/>At Clemson University's 2008 National Tire Conference results were presented concerning a field trial of nitrogen tire inflation in long haul trucking. Tire company scientists and others have since replicated these results with great success, and nitrogen tire inflation is today seen as an accepted money saving tool for fleet managers. At this year's Tire Conference held last week (April 1, 2009) in Hilton Head SC, test data showed similar results in diesel-powered mass transit buses, automobiles and light trucks operating in heavy urban traffic conditions. The presentation concluded that nitrogen tire inflation provides demonstrated benefits across a wide spectrum of vehicle types -from car to long haul transport - and operating parameters - congested urban conditions to predominantly highway driving.

Both, Nitrogen & Air.<BR/><BR/>This negates the entire test.<BR/><BR/>What is the #1 sales pitch of nitrogen? Since you don't know, I'll tell you.<BR/>NITROGEN STAYS IN THE TIRE LONGER, THEREFORE YOUR TIRES ARE PROPERLY INFLATED LONGER, THEREFORE THERE IS LESS ROLLING RESISTANCE (OVER TIME), THEREFORE, IMPROVED FUEL ECONOMY.<BR/><BR/>How can you measure this if your testing RE-INFLATES every week?<BR/><BR/>Do you, Supporter or Earl, re-inflate your tires weekly? I highly doubt it.<BR/><BR/>Had neither the air or nitrogen been re-inflated, you would see, after several months, that the air inflated tires lose pressure while the nitrogen inflated tires retain pressure, thus, ultimately INCREASING FUEL ECONOMY, not to mention, extending the usable life of the tread due to PROPER wearing.<BR/><BR/>I guess you need a physics degree to decipher common sense!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29777096.post-74887167135037056732009-03-12T23:52:00.000-04:002009-03-12T23:52:00.000-04:00Walter and Anonymous:It's easy to point out "8 out...Walter and Anonymous:It's easy to point out "8 out of 10" showed better gas mileage with nitro-fill. What takes brains is to see there is a statistically insignificant difference. The average MPG of the air-filled tires was 3.9121 with a standard deviation of .1941. The average MPG of the nitro-fill tires was 3.9433 with a standard deviation of .2757. This means, statistically there actually is no meaningful difference. In layman's terms, the nitro-fill MPG was 3.9 and the air-filled MPG was 3.9.<BR/><BR/>The only people putting a spin on this is you guys, not Earl. He posted the report on his blog. You think he didn't read it? The man's got a degree in physics.<BR/><BR/>Earl, thanks for never speaking to the lowest common denominator like these bozos.

That is a fact. I guess you do not like to dwell on facts. How typical! You should consider working for NBC. You would fit right in. Take half the facts; divide them by another half; then spin the story to your liking.

On...I'm afraid Stewart is right on this one fellas. One could argue that there is less leakage with nitrogen on a fractionally microscopic level - but it is such a miniscule advantage that it makes no sense to sell it for any amount of money. That is the point he is making, that it is unethical to convince consumers it is something parting with their hard earned money for. In today's economy, Stewart's advice is sorely needed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29777096.post-67277177756946665992009-03-09T16:45:00.000-04:002009-03-09T16:45:00.000-04:00Dear "anonymous 1& anonymous 2", Why...Dear "anonymous 1& anonymous 2", <BR/><BR/>Why don't you both admit that guys are selling nitrogen and hate me because I speak the truth? Why are you so afraid to identify yourselves?<BR/><BR/>The testing methods were agreed upon by Palm Tran and the testing company. The conclusion of the test was that there was no measurable difference in fuel economy between pure 95% nitrogen and 78% [air]. Consumer Reports came to the same conclusion. <BR/><BR/>You will continue to sell nitrogen to any gullible, unsuspecting customer you can get away with selling it to and no test results will make any difference.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29777096.post-75085327606086478342009-03-09T16:13:00.000-04:002009-03-09T16:13:00.000-04:00I suggest you RE-READ the published report Earl. ...I suggest you RE-READ the published report Earl. Clearly, on the first page under "STUDY RESULTS" is your answer :<BR/><BR/>8 out of 10 buses report HIGHER fuel economy while running nitrogen - it's in plain English Earl?<BR/><BR/>Also, a quote from the report you obviously did not read :<BR/><BR/>"There are too many scientifically demonstrated advantages to high purity nitrogen inflation to let this study be used as a basis for abandoning Palm's on-target effort to get more bang for the buck from their tires.”<BR/><BR/>Lastly, the "big one" according to #6 in the summary "Data is influenced by weekly checking, monitoring and filling of tires, which adds significantly extra cost to any operation. A correct test would only have the currently practiced protocol for measuring and topping off tires.":<BR/><BR/>As the testing was done, THE AIR INFLATED & NITROGEN INFLATED TIRES were BOTH topped off after they were tested & measured **WEEKLY**.<BR/><BR/>This totally negates the testing in my opinion. Nitrogen benefits are rationalized over time while topping off weekly, whether nitrogen or air, simply isn't realistic at home or on fleets...<BR/><BR/>It's nice how you seem to SPIN the facts to suit your beliefs. Let's see the "additional testing" that is being performed using electronic sensors before we jump to any conclusions people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29777096.post-69521163404164586662009-03-09T16:09:00.000-04:002009-03-09T16:09:00.000-04:00Early,The only worthless thing around here is your...Early,<BR/><BR/>The only worthless thing around here is your worthless coments.
