Yes, altitude is your friend if you're an ecomodder/hypermiler and you have either a fuel-injected engine or an engine with a carb that is jetted for the altitude. Of course, you have to use it wisely. I imagine there are some people that just step on it harder to make up for the lowered power and they probably use more fuel.
