OK, obviously some people must be bored... <G>
The density of air at STP is 13 cubic feet to the pound. The density of any 
ther gas at STP is proportional to its molecular weight. The average MW for air 
s 29. Nitrogen is 28. Helium is 4. Hydrogen, the lightest gas, is 2.  Also, 
ydrogen is the most thermally conductive gas there is. For whatever that's 
orth! 
Now, if anyone wants to see if they think ANY of this is a big deal, well, have 
un!!

I use light weight racing air....
LH
> So if you fill the tires up with Helium, does it make the car lighter ??? 
 Or should you put Helium in just the rear tires to help the weight 
 balance, and if you do that, do you have to adjust the front tire 
 pressures to compensate ?

 This is making my head hurt....
