Yep, by his own admission.

Which brings up an interesting question: Did he lie about that too? Was it all a big farce?

If he lied about THAT to get attention, well I don't think that I need inform you that the implications are STAGGERING.

And how did this happen? Does anyone remember the story?

nitrogen is an inert or slow-moving gas that has no moisture. The gas has larger molecules than oxygen. These two facts combine to make nitrogen more efficient for use in automobile and other tires, he said.
Moisture causes tire pressure to be susceptible to temperature changes. As the car is driven, the tires heat up, and the tire pressure increases.
Oxygen's smaller molecules seep out of tires more easily, causing a gradual loss of pressure. Nitrogen avoids this problem, creating a constant tire pressure
The constant pressure wears more evenly, and tires last longer than those that wear unevenly, Lombardino said.
Properly inflated tires also increase fuel economy.
