I'm new to the Jeep forum, so I clearly know nothing. tjkj2002, with several thousand posts obviously knows everything. Every comment in that thread just reaffirmed the position of their leader as all knowing. Not a single person was brave enough to disagree with him.

The problem with (some) old people is that they remember how things used to be and assume the same applies today. tjkj2002 insults me by saying everyone since 70 years ago knows elevation kills FE. Yes, but as a "master tech" he fails to realize that almost nobody drives with a carburetor these days, and the engine management adjusts for the reduced air density.

Impossible to discuss logic to the masses, who are quick to fall for ad hominems, appeals to authority, and straw man arguments.
