In addition to hydrogen and helium, I propose that carbon be considered due to it's sheer abundance. One minor draw back is the need to keep it at around 4300* Kelvin or higher to be in a gaseous state. I'm sure the marketeers can figure out a way to get around that tiny issue.

Although I can't speak to the science, I can say that I had a nail in a tire and the Nitro Fill 1 year warranty paid for the repair. I later had another nail in a sidewall and the Nitro Fill warranty paid $200 toward the tire replacement. But, that's the limit, so the warranty is over. Just wanted people to know in case they have the same.

HAHA!! NO JOKE! That second tire picked up another nail and had to be replaced in one day! Luckily the dealer pickup up that tire. I think you might be right. I have never had so many nails!

Chevrolet Corvair. Later models were avertised as having an an extra "400 ground-hugging pounds" after it featured in Ralph Nader's book Unsafe at Any Speed as being the most dangerous car on US roads due to its tendency to flip onto its roof in corners.

I'm still quite angry with Mother Nature with her decision to contaminate air with almost 1% argon. I mean, did she even think about it's atomic weight? WTF?

Actually it is not, check out this description from Jason at engineering explained who covers it pretty well

The video is good. Not great, but good. It's more useful than the text below it on the link provided: That's actually worse than useless. Now I'm scared of this "air" stuff. It sounds dangerous.
