If you think you're going to keep gaseous Nitrogen inside a liquid, in an unsealed container, I've got some volcano insurance to sell you. Go open a Guiness and see how long it takes for the Nitrogen bubbles to escape. They're talking about nitrogen compounds related to the detergents. And those detergents are NOT inert. You're not changing the makeup of the fuel much with nitrogen enriched detergents versus the standard variety. Don't foget that we're talking about 5x the MINIMUM detergent level. How many detergents do you think the gas at Wal-Mart has.

Here's something you should write an article on: Why you shouldn't buy a direct injection car because all of these wonder cleaners won't brighten the backsides of your valves!
