But sense the air we breathe is composed of more nitrogen than oxygen it would be almost statistically insignificant. "I am not ashamed to confess I am ignorant of what I do not know."

And even that isn’t easy. 1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27 Livin and lovin life one day at a time

But the added weight of containment would likely offset any gains. I think the entire discussion contained laughter...

Dont forget the regular atmosphere you are currently pumping in your tires is already 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 1% various other gases That translates to, barring a puncture, a cut, a broken valve, etc., a tire will only deflate to the 78% level.....??

Next up, "the coolant is moving too fast through the radiator to shed heat"
