air is mostly FREE nitrogen anyway -
it does expand less, but it will leak out over time anyway, all tires loose 1psi/ month on average!
The mileage claims are BS - just like those stupid tornadoes in the intake or magnets on the gas line, the effect is negligible to the point of scientifically in an experiment being the same as not having used them, and never pays back the cost. If something is a good idea the automakers adopt it if the cost/payback ratio is good enough anyway.
Nothing is free, you always pay some other way - if you spend the $ on an open air intake (make sure to keep it clean) and get actual greater mpg and savings to pay for it by not having to buy replacement air filters (again just make sure to clean it up every 30k!) - even an exhaust will get you better fuel mileage, but the price is the cost plus the noise!
Just watch your tires since they go flat with nails often anyway!!! (and that's dangerous to drive on)
