Once upon a time, in a Nitrogen land.......... Bunch of cr##.
Be afraid, be very afraid.......
This is one of the biggest scams I've seen in 30 years. Must have started in Nigeria.

Paid $ 16.00 total...$ 4 per tire...local tire dealer
Worth every penny, even if it was double what I paid......pressure stable for last 4 months, car handles better on my PS2's and the tire wear looks very even, etc., although there are other facters at play......
PS - I negotiated the price down from $ 9 per tire....

Meh, maybe for you. I've used it in my truck, where the pressure in the rear tires is quite critical to handling (long story). Air loses a pound of pressure for every ten degree drop in ambient temperature. Nitrogen didn't. It was nice to be able to check my tires once a month and be reasonably confident that the pressures were stable in the meantime. YMMV and all that...

I think there's some validity in using Nitrogen... my concern is being fleeced by my local dealer for $70.
I'd pay $70 for them to fill my tires if it included getting fluffed by the cute receptionist - otherwise, not so much.

Please, I mean no disrespect to any one, but there is NO compelling reason to use Nitrogen when filling tires. The key to all this voo doo is "DRY". Check the gas laws, there is extreme little difference in the coff. of expansion of different gasses. You can use any gas you want as long as it is DRY. DRY air will work just as well as dry Nitrogen or any other gas you have handy. End of story.
Ever watch them mount a tire? First thing they do is put that soapy solution on the bead which is mostly WATER which ends up where, in the tire. Now we have a tire that they just put water into and now they tell you they want to charge you some silly amount for supposedly dry gas to be put into your wet tire. This whole thing is just wrong.
