I agree 100%. This has come up in other forums I belong to and I have said the exact same thing. A local dealer put nitrogen in a new set of tire for my wifes van without asking. I made him remove the charge as I did not approve it.You guys should find these two articles interesting. I personlly think Nitrogen is great for racing applications. Not so much for the daily driver.

Gee thanks! Now I know why my Enkei NT03s have two valves. Makes total sense. Thanks! I personally do not see the need for nitrogen for the simple reason that if Ineed to inflate and there's no nitro around, my nitro is as useless as f_rt.I found out why my kosei wheels have two valve stems...N inflation. Unless the shop can draw vacuum, its going to be a waste of money. Gotta purge to fill completely.
Did you know that F1 teams use C02 in high humidity tracks? I was surprised to hear that when I watched the Singapore F1 last year. Something to do with condensation, I think??Nitrogen absolutely works, i know for a fact that most upper tier racing teams use nitrogen in their tires for the fact that the fluctuation in the tire pressure is less apparent. Also having both regular air and nitrogen doesnt make too big of a deal as long as the majority of the gas inside is nitrogen. The question really is, is nitrogen that practical for some one that is daily driving. If the charge isnt too high i think it is, tire wear will be more even, MPG will be more even, and pressure loss will be minimal. But thats just my 2 cents.
I have tried Nitrogen inflation and believe it is worth it.Has anyone tried out or is using the nitrogen inflation for their tires? If you have is it worth it? Just throwing this topic out because I've been hearing a lot of good things about it.
