The reduced aerodynamic drag at altitude is the only effect on you'll notice on FE. You still require the same amout of fuel and oxygen to generate 100hp at 15,000 feet as you do at sea level. The only difference is at the lower air pressure you'll require less HP to reach and maintain a specific speed.
