Nitro-Nize® your tires with Nitrogen inflation. Save On Gas!
Americans could save 3.7 billion gallons of gas a year if they maintain proper
tire pressure with nitrogen!
Check out the facts:
- Americans use about 375 million gallons of gasoline per day.
SOURCE: Energy Information Administration
- That equals 136,875,000,000 gallons per year.
SOURCE: Energy Information Administration
- 220 million vehicles in the U.S. drive 11,600 miles per year.
SOURCE: Energy Information Administration
- That equals 6,991,780,821.918 combined miles per day.
SOURCE: Energy Information Administration
- You can improve your gas mileage by around 3.3% by keeping tires inflated
to the proper pressure. Under-inflated tires can lower gas mileage by 0.4% for every
1 psi drop in pressure of all four tires.

- Every gallon of gasoline a vehicle burns puts 20 pounds of carbon dioxide
into the atmosphere.

- The U.S. uses about 20 million barrels of oil per day, two-thirds of which
is used for transportation. One barrel of crude oil (42 gallons) produces approximately
19.9 gallons of finished motor gasoline.

- As many as 85% of motorists do not properly check their tire inflation pressure.

CONCLUSION:
If 85% of the 220 million vehicles on the road today improved their gas mileage
by 3.3%, the U.S. would save: 3,716,692,884.802 Gallons of gas per year.
