I get an unlimited supply of 78% pure nitrogen from my own compressor. No need for a Costco visit.

I'd bet money Costco sources their "nitrogen" the same way I do.

Possible! But I tend to trust Costco when it makes a statement of quality/content because it has actually earned a level of my trust over the years. Misrepresenting something so innocuous (in the big scheme of things) would have far more downside than upside — particularly where Costco provides the tire stations as an additional value / at no additional cost.

  • There is no "misrepresentation" here by Costco.

    Using one of their tire stations does in fact fill your tires with a compressed gas that is mostly nitrogen.

    There is a potential "misunderstanding" by those who don't realize that ordinary compressed air is 78% pure nitrogen gas.
