The thinner air let's my car slip through with less air resistance. On some of my trips I drive for extended periods at over 8,000 feet elevation and the ScanGuage shows great mileage figures for that part of the trip. I do wish I had a six speed though, perhaps I could do even better.
It gets worse CO, I'm @ sea level. More or less.
