theres 4 within a 20 minute drive of me.
Northridge (CA) is just barely over two miles away. (5 mins max)
Van Nuys (10 mins)
Burbank and Santa Clarita (both 20mins)
Canoga Park and Los Feliz (25 mins)
Simi Valley (30 mins)

so what if my tires get low. i can stop at any gas station and fill them up with about 80% nitrogen.

I'd bet the increased utility from using 100% N2 is about the same as you'd get from using really expensive oil... changed every 3,000 miles... and then replacing your engine every 2 years.
