I thought this was a really good segment today and I have one to add:
I have a friend who manages a Belle Tire and they charge you $5 per tire to "Nitronize" your tires when you ask for it. Little does anyone know that if you ask or not they are using the exact same air for your tires...thus if you are stupid enough to ask you pay an extra $20 for the same thing you could get for free.
Edit: Also that mechanic who said you can't mix compressed air with nitrogen is an idiot....air is 78% nitrogen as it is, that is why it doesn't save you enough miles for the price you pay for it.
