Replacing innertubes without replacing tires?

Fill them with Nitrogen they won't leak as much. Not that I've tried it. How do you figure that? Air is already mostly nitrogen. Why would a higher concentration of nitrogen leak any less than plain old air? The difference in atom sizes between nitrogen and the other major constituents of air is on the order of a few percent, so even the other constituents aren't going to leak out leaving just nitrogen.
