Tire maintenance is best done when cold it is the closest to the actual pressure as air warms the pressure rises it may be as much as 10 pounds difference in cars so..... filling a tire warm will result in lower than safe operation pressure when cold.

Air expands as it gets warm, thus filling the tires more.

Does Nitrogen in tires increase fuel efficiency?

No, tires filled with nitrogen give exactly the same fuel efficiency as tires filled with air.The real reason tires on many modern cars are filled with dry nitrogen is that air contains a small amount of water vapor which condenses out in cold weather. The resulting small drop in tire pressure is detected by the electronic tire pressure monitoring system, which gives a false warning. As dry nitrogen has no water vapor to condense its use eliminates these false warnings.
