Have a question:
Is there a pretictable relationship between gas mileage and elevation? I am an engineer (of the semiconductor kind), so I'm a bit embarassed to ask such a question, but we live and do all our driving at an elevation of ~5000 ft. After about 2000 miles, we are averaging about 16 mpg. Granted, most of our driving is of the city variety, but I'm still a little disappointed with the overall gas mileage. I have been wondering if our elevation might make a difference. Thanks in advance for the inputs.
