Default Re: Breaking the estimated MPG on SUV's

After I posted above I did a little research and found that Consumers Reports actually tested this (I won't verify their test methods). They found that nitrogen filled tires actually did lose a little less pressure over time. The difference seemed to be about 1 PSI per year. Conclusion - Nitrogen might be a very slight advantage for someone who only checks their tire pressure every few years.
