Harder times overall: for some Costco members, N-air is as important as gas

[theking]

Due to harder times on average these days for many, I see more and more folks doing what they can to save money and that includes waiting long line to air up the tires of their cars with Costco's nitrogen air as well as fuel up their cars with lower cost Costco gas. I took these photos of the air line:

Don't expect to go there after hours because they shut their air station off like their gas station:

Even though Costco offers "complimentary" nitrogen air, you can't just hoard it as the system will not work unless the tire's PSI is at a certain range:

Folks doing their part to save:

Since nitrogen molecules are bigger than normal air molecules, it is harder for them to leak out. This means a tire filled with nitrogen will maintain air pressure longer. Therefore, they say, you'll roll on tires that are always properly inflated, resulting in better fuel economy and longer tire life.

Maybe they are dumb like you
Its a scam

The air you breath is almostly nitrogen

 

Temperature here gets to -20 degree
And our tires still work great

 

[theking]

WELPS so much for:

I ALREADY STOP CLICKUON THEM

Yep, PH's George Santos' "jealous" level is still very high. So much so that he can't abide by his own words aka LIES per the "legit" quote above...

Therefore:

dang...somebody is salty

Talk about "dumb"...

[hmgROCK]

 

Look man,,,, i will tell you

We have this really same free air pump at my gas station
Same model and everything

Its good cuz it pump and read PSI at the same time
It beep when it reach the PSI


 

Sorry i burst your bubble

[theking]

"comment' NUMERO 2 right there...YEP, he's still foaming hard at the mouth...


THEREFORE:

yeah i just make that stuff up

Just lied, dude

HIS WORDS, NOT MINE per the "legit" quotes above...

How Does Tire Pressure Affect Fuel Economy?
Published: November 8, 2022
 When shopping for a car, the phrase “fuel economy” will come up a lot. Fuel economy is the rate you burn gasoline to make your car run. Using less fuel is always your goal, as you'll spend less and keep your carbon footprint lower. Whether you’re a commuter, business owner, or fleet manager, fuel economy deserves your attention.

Fortunately, you don't have to buy a new car to improve your fuel economy. Maintaining your tires with the correct air pressure can also make a difference. Here's what you need to know.

Why Tire Pressure Matters
Fuel economy often depends on reducing resistance so your car can move more easily. If your tires aren't inflated to the proper tire pressure, they are saggy and soft. The softer your tires are, the more rolling resistance there is between the road and the rubber, and the harder your engine will have to work to move your car. When your engine works harder, you burn more fuel — and spend more money to get where you're going.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, keeping your car tires at the recommended pressure can improve your gas mileage by up to 3%. In a season where gas prices hit $4.00 per gallon, that results in a savings of $2.40 every time you fill up a 20-gallon tank. If you fuel up once per week, that's an annual savings of almost $125.

It's also worth noting that underinflated tires are also a safety issue. They can lead to longer stopping distances, poor handling, and dangerous blowouts on the road.

How to Maintain Your Tires and Improve Fuel Economy
1. Keep Tires Inflated
First, you'll want to keep your tires properly inflated. This is a Goldilocks situation: you don't want too much air or too little, but just the right amount. Information on recommended tire pressure can be found on a sticker in the driver’s side door jamb or in your owner's manual.

Once you know the correct pressure, use a tire gauge to measure your tires' PSI. If the number is incorrect, add or release air as needed to get the to the correct pressure. Most gas stations offer free air for tire inflation if you don't have a pump of your own.

2. Rotate Tires Regularly
Rotating your tires is another way to keep your money in your wallet. Rotating tires approximately twice a year, or as often as specified in your car’s manual, will help spread tread evenly among all four wheels. This helps your tires last longer and, more importantly, ensures higher-quality rides and better car safety. Buying tires from places that offer free lifetime rotations can help make the rotation process inexpensive and hassle-free.

3. Check Wheel Alignment
Wheel alignment consists of adjusting the angles of the wheels so that they are set to the car maker’s specifications . The purpose of these adjustments is to reduce tire wear and to ensure that vehicle travel is straight and true, without “pulling” to one side.

Improper wheel alignment can affect driving performance and put pressure on one tire, causing uneven and potentially dangerous wear. When your alignment is correct, it decreases rolling resistance, which increases your gas mileage.

4. Replace Tires When Needed
Finally, remember that no tire lasts forever. When the treads wear down, you'll lose fuel economy as well as traction, which can lead to skids and poor braking. To know when to replace your tires, insert a penny between treads. If your tires don't reach the top of Lincoln's head, you need new ones.

LMAO

why is Costco scamming and misleading their customers

 

Bro

We have exactly that same air pressure here
You press red + to start
But it will jump to 33 now
So you press the blue to go back to 32

HOW DO I KNOW ALL OF THESE???
Becuz i use it before

You can air the air compressor

 

[theking]

yeah i just make that stuff up

Just lied, dude

[hmgROCK]

When he spam
Thats how you know you own them

 

[theking]

"When he spam" more of his LIES
"Thats how we all know" his foam is still flowing heavily..
