I think this is a better idea than Nitrogen. Good luck devising a way to catch them. Farts are evasive little bastards.

I did hear that nitrogen is better for high speed driving (150+ mph), keeps the tires cooler longer & more accurate pressure readings. Since nobody on here drives that fast for any long periods of time, it sounds useless for a street car.
