Nitrogen can be effective for commercial vehicles, aircraft, motorcycles, some racing applications and in some special applications like trailers.
My personal feelings are; if you can get it for free, use it. If you have to pay for it, I would pass.

I took my 3023 out to Tucson in January of this year. Before leaving I made sure the tires had 65 psi cold. Its about 450 miles each way from where I live.
This week the DW and I took a couple of grandkids camping at Mission Bay in San Diego. Before hooking up I checked the tire pressures. 65 psi cold after sitting in the driveway for 10 weeks.
I had nitrogen put in the tires when I bought them in August 2010. I cannot say how big the molecules are or how fast they can leak out of the tires. All I know is that over a two month period and 1000 or so miles...no change in pressure in my tires.
