Mikey, is this a troll?
I can't think of one legit reason (being cheap doesn't count) for using air on the Yukon when you can use 36%. At an average depth of 80 fsw, 36% has a no D bottomtime of 58 minutes, versus 29 minutes for air. The PO2 is 1.23 ata. And, given all the bad things high PN2 does to the body, in addition to narcosis, it just makes no sense at all.
