1) I think (I hope) cars receive an equal percentage of their nitro with air time. If the car is slower, it gets more air time, and thus more nitro, but will obviously have a disadvantage compared to a faster car (which will probably get less nitro due to a shorter air time).

2) Barrel Rolling and Flat Spinning give you equal credits (5 each) but it is possible that one gives slightly more nitro. If one does, it would probably be the Barrel Roll. Barrel Rolls tend to be faster than flat spins, allowing you to get a similar amount of nitro in a shorter amount of time; however, Barrel Rolls are more dangerous and it is very difficult to do multiple in one go (the most I have ever gotten in one go is 10); they also give less airtime, due to the increase in speed. Flat spins are very easy to do consistently and will make your money increase more than barrel rolls (since you will be doing fewer barrel rolls than flat spins, on average). Barrel Rolls can be performed by going of curved ramps, by going off the wrong side of curved ramps (this is far more dangerous but can result in ridiculous amounts of rolls), by going off the edge of a regular ramp (this is how I got 10 in one go; I also didn't die afterwards), and they sometimes occur after falling off a high platform or flying up a ramp/slope at a weird angle. Flat Spins can be performed in various places; you can use curved ramps to do a lot of flat spins, due to the ramps having more surface area to spin off; you can also flat spin off cliffs and off the geysers in Iceland, as well as off regular ramps.

3) Crashing a car gives you 5 dollars (unless you have boosters) while picking up a nitro pickup gives absolutely no money at all. Blue nitro pickups reward less (I think), but yellow nitro pickups reward a similar amount, probably higher. Knockdowns are far less time-consuming than Barrel Rolls/Flat Spins and they can be achieved quite easily. Often, it's difficult to tell exactly how much nitro a Knockdown rewards, since you are draining nitro as you are gaining it. It's usually more worth it (speed-wise) to pick up a yellow nitro pickup rather than gain a knockdown, however, it is more worth it to do a knockdown if the nitro pickup is blue. Also, knocking down multiple cars is more effective than yellow nitro and gives you money.
