Aerodynamic drag is some 20% lower in Denver than in Miami. However, there tend to be a lot of annoying hills and mountains at those elevations. Some are steep enough to cause you to waste energy braking, and even small hills interfere with urban planning. I use more gas and drive more miles trying to get around Pittsburgh than Buffalo.
