i once read an article by an auto "authority": "the advantage of nitrogen over oxygen is so minimal, it would only be truly but still minimally advantageous in ordinary daily use, if it were free".
and this does not yet account for the time, effort and fuel spent in going out of your way to that free refilling station.

the reason nitrogen is prefered in some applications, is because it, unlike oxygen, does not support fire.

Another nitrogen thread. A simple Google search will tell you all you need to know.

I use ordinary air. I have my own portable tire inflator in the car. Makes life simple.

Below are the ff. reasons,

a. Nitrogen like CO2 are inert gas and does not support fire or overheats.
b. Nitrogen is lighter than oxygen.
c. Nitrogen is colder and therefore expands less.

If you are not carrying heavy loads on a daily basis, race for a living or tow heavy loads, stick to ordinary free oxygen. It will make your life less complicated.
