I work in a tire and automotive place and we have all converted to Nitrogen, i've definatley noticed a difference. I don't pay for it either. But normally its $2 per tire and then free for the life of the tire after that. Much better ride than regular air and I won't have to worry about checking the pressure as often. As far as what pressure to keep your tires at.... you should keep your pressure at what the vehicle calls for (the little placard on the inside of the door). Higher pressures could result in a faster and worse blow out if you would happen to hit a pot hole, not saying that lower pressures couldn't do the same but it will be worse with higher. Seen it happen... Tires have a max load on them, but that doesn't mean they should be put up to that pressure. Also causes abnormal wear on the tires if you keep them higher or lower for too long, then you're looking at new tires. BUT in the end it really what you feel you want to keep them at...
