   If you have to drive somewhere special to top up your tires you're   
   paying extra with your time and trouble. I do my (normal air) top-ups in   
   the comfort of my own garage...

   Yup. They get you to come down to their store to fill up...

   My tire dealer does that too. And no annual fee.

   If I get a puncture, nitrogen leaks out just like good old air. (And   
   BTW both my cars will warn me if a tire gets low. YMMV.) Otherwise I   
   seldom see more than a pound or two pound change when checking every   
   month and often no change at all...
