I'm happy to report that since I put Nothing® in my tires, I have lost absolutely Nothing® in gas mileage, Nothing® in tire pressure, and Nothing® in cost. I think everyone should put Nothing® in THEIR tires!

In fact, I'm so happy with Nothing®, I'm going to patent it! I could make millions selling Nothing®! Although I'm not so sure I really want to work for Nothing®.

Just to keep an update to you guys, air preassure has not changed and the ride continues to be as good as I mentioned before, gas mileage does not seem any better. I am happier about the ride though wife is not complaining she actually noticed it which makes me feel like money well spent. In my case no money spent. But you guys get what I am talking about.

Apparently the machine which is about $8,000 makes it's own nitro. Not bad I must say so myself. So I and the service manager were the guinea pigs to see if there was any change at all and the only thing I noticed was that the ride got a little softer. Don't ask me why but that was the only difference I saw so far. I will keep you guys posted if the gas mileage changes too. I hope !!!
I had nitro put in rav last winter. When it got real cold here it did not ride nice. The tires just did not feel right. Hard ride in frigid temps. Would not have it done again even for free

The problem with this is you will never put your JK through extremes enough to benefit from it (unless you live north of the arctic circle in which case I stand corrected). It is used primarily in the aviation field, and in racing, not really needed for highway driving.
amen! and what do you if u need to air down? do you have to go back there to get your tires back up to pressure? waste of money / time...too fancy...no benefits. it's a scam!

ROTF. You do know a spark to the Hydrogen will send your Jeep to the moon, or explode and quickly incinerate.

Any gas that contains moisture. Ammonia is a good example.

Bullshit! That's the answer! My tires run much better with all this bullshit!

(I think I just confirmed I, too, belong in ranks of the dumb asses)
