Anyone ever put Helium in their car tires? I mean like it would give lower rolling resistance like in hard drives and maybe even make the wheels lighter, so less gas.

The theory behind the idea is not completely unfounded /unused. Many higher end automobiles, aircraft, and some race vehicles use Nitrogen in the tires, but they mainly do it since nitrogen won't add the fuel of fire/explosion as opposed to compressed air...and not for any sort of "lighter" tire. Now, unfortunately many places offer "better performing" Nitrogen at a premium price, of course, with negligible/no measurable effect...and it's become a industry scam based on solid original usage logic....like so many things.
