It is definitely not a gimmick. For the last four years, my Audi dealer fills my summer and winter tires with nitrogen every time I swap tires for the season (twice a year) and this works wonderfully. Never need to add air to my tires and I don't even remember when was the last time I had to do it. Yes, it costs $35, but my peace of mind is worth every penny.
How often do you check your tire pressure and with what gauge? A more likely explanation is since you change tires twice a year, the dealer checks and adjusts your tire pressure.
