i was just getting my fuel topped up when i saw this banner !! wherein you could get nitrogen filled in your tyres instead of normal air! this is used in f1 cars too for the following advantages:-
-low thermal coefficient of expansion, so almost no diff in pressure during hot or cold tyre! no deshaping , hene better grip as elasticity of rubber is intact!
- nitrogen is lighter than air hence better ride !!! much softer noticable!! more fuel efficient therefore!
-size of nitrogen molecules is larger hence slower escape in case of puncture!!

well this was available for rs15/- ore free if you got rs750 worth of fuel!! so tried it and felt much better !!
i think its really great!!
go try it! i tried it at hemkunt service station near jangpura(hp station)
