I have a VW Gti, which has a 2 liter turbo. Albuquerque is at altitude. I think it's about 5000 feet at the river and about 6000 where the folks live.
I've found the car seems out of breath, a bit like me, until the revs climb beyond 3000 or so, then the turbo comes on pretty strongly. I'm guessing the lack of oxygen is an issue.
Some of the gasolines sold here do not have stickers denoting oxygenated gasoline. I saw that as a benefit. I did fill up at Shell today and at least the premium grade promised oxygenation.
The run to the driving range, my morning exercise, is straight up and down Montgomery, a road, that if you know it, will provide just about everything out need in this town.
Gas, clothes, barbecue, food, RadioShack, it's all there. Sure, does not have the excitement of Central, a portion of which was the old route 66, and the hookers and all the cops are there. You can't find them on Montgomery!
