I think the gas is supposed to give a quick movement to absorb rough surfaces, and the oil is stiffer and takes on the bigger bumps.

If some do still just have oil then I guess no tendency to spring back out at all. You should still be able to compress and pull them out and feel stiff resistance all the way rather than it gurgling and juddering.
