There's no secret to getting the most from your car when it comes to gas mileage. It comes down to maintenance. Keeping up on things like oil changes, belts and hoses can save you money. Every time you change your oil ask to see your air filter. If you have a dirty air filter it prohibits air to get through to the engine. This causes the mix between air and fuel to be unbalanced, so there will be more fuel in the engine. Outside of the engine, your tire pressure can also affect mileage.  If you are deficient in your tire pressure you have more rolling resistance with your tires to the ground which is not as efficient, causing decreased fuel efficiency. PurigeN98 high purity nitrogen inflation will help maintain the proper pressure in your tires over an extended period of time, which will minimize tire-rolling resistance. Using nitrogen in your tires as opposed to air can lead to better fuel efficiency because nitrogen molecules are larger and don't leak as easily.  The US government estimates that by maintaining the proper pressure within your tires, the average driver will save 3.3% on fuel use.

When a tire is properly inflated the rolling resistance is optimized. Ever cycle on a bicycle or push a wheelbarrow with under inflated tires? It takes more energy to push forward. For every 10% the tire is under inflated, it uses 2% more fuel. So a tire that is supposed to be inflated to 32 PSI with only 26 PSI uses 20% more fuel. Considering today's high fuel prices, under-inflation can be very costly.

It is difficult to see when a tire is under inflated. Only by checking regularly with a high quality tire gauge can you maintain the proper pressure within the tire. Most tires will not even look under inflated until they are 50% of the recommended tire pressure. Many low profile tires or run flat tires do not show that they are low. PurigeN98 will stabilize your tire pressure longer resulting in less rolling resistance, less heat build up and better wear.

A tire is the vehicle’s contact with the road. All vehicle power, direction, acceleration and deceleration is projected though the tire to the road. Today’s vehicles are finely tuned, and rely upon properly inflated tires. It is actually the gas within a tire that carries the weight of a vehicle; just imagine a tire without air.  By maintaining the proper tire pressure, the driver will experience the best possible vehicle handling.

Vehicle safety is every driver’s primary concern. The Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA) estimates 250,000 vehicle accidents are caused by under inflated tires every year, and well over 90% of tire related failures attributed to under inflated tires. The National Highway Transportation and Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported that in 1999, 247 deaths, and 23,100 injuries were the result of under inflation. Under inflated tires do not handle as well, and run very hot leading to internal tearing and tread separation. Under inflated tires decrease a vehicles ability to brake, and steer around hazardous situations. PurigeN98 will stabilize the pressure over a longer period of time providing a safer ride.

Every day 4 million gallons of fuel are wasted in the US due to under-inflated tires in the US. This wasted fuel still produces smog causing emission, and green house gases. Tire disposal is a major environmental problem. Every year 10 million tires are disposed of prematurely directly due to under-inflation. Widespread use of PurigeN98 high purity nitrogen will reduce fuel consumption, smog emissions, greenhouse gases and pressure on our landfills.
