I heard that putting helium in the car tires causes the car to float
over the road, which not only saves a lot of gas, but also keeps tire
wear to a minimum.  Has anyone done this?

I tried that right after I tried plutonium in my gas tank.

dry nitrogen would be a better choice not the least since He is not well
contained by the material used in tires.

I've heard if you put enough helium in the tires you might actually float.
